Brief Answer:
Candidal balanitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have viewed the images.
It seems like a yeast infection. I suggest you apply a topical antifungal e.g Clotrimazole 1 %cream, twice daily.
In addition to this, I suggest you take an oral antifungal e.g tab Fluconazole once a day for 3 days.
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
