Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

According to your complaints, it could be due to pseudomonas infection due to being in the water for a long time or zoon's balanitis.

I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly. You can simply upload/attach them to the reports section of this web page.

Regards
Dr Asmeet

Brief Answer:
Apply topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
I would recommend you to apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected areas twice daily for 5-7 days.
If it doesn't improve then possibility of zoon's balanitis is high for which you need to consult a dermatologist and go for clinical examination.
