Swollen Penis Foreskin

I am a 19 year old male, uncircumsided and not sexually active. About a few days ago my foreskin began to get swollen, and red. The foreskin has become so swollen that the urethra meatus is not visible. It currently itches alot, and when I try to put Triple Antibiotic on it, it begins to burns alot. I don't know what it can be, i have researched and found that it might be Balanitis or a fungul infection. I need help in finding out what this can be and if by any way not being circumsized has affected me with this manner. Before this I had a very stubborn Jock Itch that would not go away until my doctor prescribed Clotrimazole 1%, but for some odd reason I felt that the actual fungus moved from the thigh skin fold where I had originally had it to my penis. (I know this sounds really strange but I dont know if it is possible.) or if it just a bacteria infection. I don't know if I should take this serious or I should let a few days pass and see if it heals on itself or using the Triple Antibiotic Cream.

What form of action should I take?
