      If your Glans is really red, and you cannot even touch it, I would suggest you need to seek professional medical advice ....

      Here is some information on Balanitis I have quickly Googled ....

      " Balanitis is a skin irritation on the head of the penis and the foreskin it is not usually serious, but you should see your GP - Symptoms of balanitis include:

      a sore, itchy and smelly penis

      redness and swelling AND ...

      " Balanitis is inflammation typically caused by infections or chronic skin conditions. Improper hygiene can contribute to skin irritation. Both inadequate cleansing and too much cleansing can add to this problem. The condition is often caused by an overgrowth of either bacteria or yeast. The foreskin of the penis is an ideal place for these organisms to grow because it can trap moisture around the penis head.

      Injuries on the tip of the penis or foreskin can cause swelling and discomfort.

      Irritation in the area can also cause balanitis. Irritation can be caused by:

      not rinsing soap completely off of your penis after showering

      using scented soaps to clean your penis

      using bar soap that dries out the skin

      using scented lotions or sprays on your penis"
