Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

Do not worry, you seem to have candidal balanoposthitis most probably. Still, you may consult dermatologist fir firm diagnosis personally. Have blood investigations to rule out DM,HIV or other internal disease. You may apply antifungal cram like clotrimazole or miconazole cream. Take antifungal like itraconazole cap or ketoconazole tab for two weeks. Avoid soap for washing the area. You msy take Sitz bath in dettol containing water in a tub for 10 min at bath daily. And keep the area dry. Give antifungal tab to you partner also. You may become alright in few weeks. I hope you yot my answrr.

Thanks.
