What Causes Redness And Swelling Around Penis In A 5 Year Old?

Hello I have a 4 yr 11 month (almost 5yr) old son that has a irritated penis. When I was bathing him earlier I pulled the skin back to clean and I noticed the skin around the tip of his penis was really raw,red,and looked a bit swollen and irritated. He said it hurt a little and since then I have been watching and lstening when he urinates and I noticed he jerks a little as he beings to urinate. Can you please help me?
