Brief Answer:
Possible fungal infection/allergy from condoms to be ruled out...
Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxx,
I have gone through your medical history and the photo you provided carefully and understood your concerns.
From what you are reporting, it seems that you might be having problems with allergy to condoms. Unless, you are also having discharge from your penis, that indicates possible genital infection.
At this point, apply clotrimazole cream mixed with hydrocortisone cream for 1 week and see the changes.
Avoid hard or dry sex.
I think your wife might be also having genital issues (which are very common for women). Get her checked by vaginal swab testing. If infection, get her treated too.
Keep a good genital hygiene.
Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
OK, great, no fear for STDs, common fungal infection

Hi back,
Thank you for providing additional information.
If no discharge, then it's from friction, condom allergy or possible fungal Infection especially if your wife is having burning/pain during or after intercourse.
Avoid hard, dry sex.
Clean your genitalia before and after having sex.
And apply the cream I mentioned earlier.
Get your wife checked too.
All the best.
