Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The histroy and symptoms are suggesting me that you may be having Balanoposthitis. This type of infection are more common in patients with reduced immunity like diabetes.

If you are uncircumcised you may have phimosis which is a discharge from a fungal infection under the foreskin. This can be treated with good cleaning of the penis with a gentle soap and water as well as an antifungal powder.

I would suggest you to follow

1.Proper hygiene and regular washing of prepuce is useful for the prevention of
balanoposthitis.
2.Topical antibiotics like metronidazole cream and antifungals clotrimazole cream.
3.Circumcision is helpful in recurrent cases like you.
Thank you.
