Hi,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

As per the description of your symptoms, I suspect the possibility of "Candidial Balanoposthitis". But you need to consult your physician for confirmation because, it is always good to examine the severity of the problem clinically.

Also check your blood sugar levels. As this condition most of the times seen in
diabetes.

If you have any doubts let me know.
Regards,
Dr.SIVAYOGI
