Brief Answer:
Candidal balanitis, topical anti fungal

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photograph.
It is looking like candidal balanitis which is a fungal infection. It is not looking like anything dangerous.
I would recommend you to apply topical antifungal like clotrimazole cream or miconazole cream on the affected area twice daily for 10-12 days.
Also keep the area dry and clean.
This should resolve your problem.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
