Your History suggests, you are suffering from either:
1.) Balanitis
2.) Balanoposthitis
Balanitis is the inflammation foreskin and head of the penis. It may happen due to poor hygiene or use of Harsh soaps which has not been washed. Kindly don't worry as there nothing seems be serious.
You should be getting yourself examined by a Urologist so that he may examine you and run few tests like,
1.) Blood Work
2.) Urinalysis
3.) Skin Biopsy (if necessary)
Once confirmed, the treatment will depend upon the cause. Your Doctor may prescribe, antibiotics, steroids and in severe cases may suggest circumcision if you are not circumcised.
It is easily controllable with medications and Good Personal hygiene.
