Hi,
From history it seems that your problem might be due to infection resulting from collection of smegma under fore skin.
Due to local poor hygiene and deposition of smegma giving rise to crack or infection.
Clean the part and remove smegma gently and apply antibiotic cream locally.
Make a habit to clean the glans by averting foreskin while taking bath.
Ok and take care.
