Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks or the query.
You seem to be suffering from balanoposthitis.
It is defined as the inflammation of the foreskin and glans in uncircumcised males. Balanoposthitis occurs over a wide age range and may have any of multiple bacterial or fungal origins.
Complex infections have been well documented, often from a poorly retractile foreskin and poor hygiene that leads to colonization and overgrowth.
Treatment focuses on clearing the acute infection and preventing recurrent inflammation/infection through improved hygiene. Although not as necessary as in the past, circumcision may be considered for refractory or recurrent balanoposthitis.
Topical antibiotics (metronidazole cream) and antifungals (clotrimazole cream) or low-potency steroid creams for contact dermatitides often lead to clearing of the lesion.[30, 31]
Proper hygiene with frequent washing and drying of the prepuce is an essential preventive measure.
Circumcision may be advocated in recurrent and recalcitrant cases.
Although circumcision has been advocated for refractory or recurrent cases, this is now primarily used if improved drying and hygiene are not effective.
It is not phimosis as you can retract the skin.
Nobody can retract the foreskin of an erect penis.
Get your blood sugar tested to rule out diabetes
You should consult a general surgeon in medical college of your area or a government hospital in your area for the treatment.
It doesn't look like penis cancer.
I hope to have answered your query however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck.
Thanks

Hello
It may or may not be BXO.
the best would be to go to the medical college in Kolkata and consult a urologist for the proper diagnosis of your condition.
