Hello,
In diabetics patient, there can be a chance of fungal infection. Your symptoms point towards fungal balanitis like penis infection (of glans penis). In this condition, topical antifungal needs to be prescribed. So to confirm the diagnosis or to guide you further kindly post a photo of the lesion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
