Hi,
This could be an irritation, infection or inflammation. Balanitis, in particular, is an unpleasant, irritating but seldom serious inflammation of the head of the penis. The glans may appear red, sore and itchy; white or red blotches or lumps may appear, or a discharge may be present. It is important to keep the area clean and dry. Have this evaluated further byu your doctor for proper management. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. If it is caused by thrush, an anti-fungal treatment can help. Antibiotics can clear up balanitis caused by bacterial infections.Take care and keep us posted.
