It is quite possible that there’s some kind of an infection and that you have developed phimosis due to this infection. Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin can’t be retracted. When it happens in older guys, it is due to bad hygiene and not cleaning under the foreskin regularly and because of smegma accumulation under the foreskin.

Balanitis is an infection of the foreskin that occurs due to microorganisms in the area and causes discomfort. Balanitis could cause phimosis but it could also occur due to phimosis. It makes your foreskin red, tender, swell, etc

Now, what you should do is wash your penis with warm water once a day. Don’t use any soap but you could get sorbolene or glycerine cream from a pharmacy and use it instead. YOU need to wash under the foreskin as well but you shouldn’t forcefully retract the foreskin but very gently. When you have washed it, let the shaft and the head dry in the open air for 10 minutes and only then cover them with the foreskin. It is important that they are dry when covering them. This is because fungus (that is one of the balanitis causes) loves the moist environment and will continue to multiply in such areas. Also make sure you don’t wet the foreskin during urination.

If things don’t get better after such treatment, you better see a doctor.

Maybe you should see an urologist and have this checked. YOu may get some kind of (corticosteroid) ointment to help you ease the inflammation (if there is any) and help you retract the foreskin and also check what exactly is going on.
