Brief Answer:
Could be balano-posthitis- infection of the part.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to the forum.
A consultation with a urologist or a surgeon is a must.
It could mean infection of the part.
Infection of the glans and the foreskin is common, especially among diabetics.
Please get examined and get your sugars checked.
Also the doc will check if the foreskin is too tight.
best regards
