Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have itching and redness of the glans penis and foreskin .

Many a times it is a presenting symptom of Diabetes and due to Muco Cutaneous Genital Candidiasis.

Please get your blood sugar tests on fasting stomach and 2 hours after lunch done to rule out Diabetes.

Take anti fungal medication like Fluconozone and topical anti fungal jelly for local application .

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily
