What Causes Red Patches Around The Foreskin?

Recently I ve had what I think to be jock itch on the inside of my thigh just on the left side...I ve tried to keep the area dry but it s hard as I tend to sweat a lot in my groin region. I ve applied an athlete foot cream for about 2 weeks and seems to be about gone. Just yesterday I looked at my foreskin and noticed red patches around it. I wonder if this is tinea cruris? Note..I have had this before and sometimes my penis head is sore and sensitive just from rubbing in my underwear when walking. I ve also been diagnosed as having lymphangitis under my penis head. All these problems are really depressing and I often wonder if there is one central cause. Could the redness be a slight yeast infection also? Any insight or remedies would be helpful. Thanks a lot.
