You are most likely experiencing
inflammation of the head of the penis and
the skin above it (balanopostitis).
Possible causes for this inflammation
could be infection, allergy, mechanical
trauma (friction), or combinations of all
three. You can immediately visit your
doctor to diagnose the cause and to begin
treatment. Anti-inflammatory and local
antiseptic treatment can prove most
helpful.
