Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Pain between penis and foreskin,is most commonly caused by infection.
That's called balanitis or balano-posthitis.
After an examination,it can be treated with a course of antibiotic.
You may also need to apply a skin ointment.
Maintain good penile hygiene at all times and avoid moisture over the penis.
If you've any doubts,you can send them to me,as a direct question.
