Seems to be yeast infection, apply clotrimazole cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
According to your complaints you seem to have developed candidal posthitis which is yeast infection of the penile fore skin.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply clotrimazole cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks and keep the area dry.
This should resolve the infection.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
