“Foreskin/glans red from phimosis?”
Is this a fungal or bacterial infection and why does this red area on foreskin keep becoming moist? Treatment options?

It doesn’t really look that bad, but if you are uncircumcised, that redness and irritation is either just simply redness and irritation, or it could be a little fungal infection. I would just start with some simple over-the-counter anti-fungal cream and if it doesn’t improve in a week, I would see a local urologist.
That is Candiasis balanitis due to a yeast infection. Best treatment is Monistat cream twice a day for 7 days, which you can get over the counter and then to keep the area under the foreskin dry and dry the penis after voiding.
