Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
An yeast or candida infection of the glans penis and the foreskin is called as balanoposthitis. It could present with soreness, redness and white patches.
You could apply a cream containing 1% Clotrimazole twice a day for 2 weeks.
Your partner also has to be treated simultaneously as it could spread through sexual contact. She could take a single dose of 150 mg Fluconazole tablet.
Keep the area dry. Do not wash frequently.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
