Phimosis would be result of scarring or infection, from the context of your statement it would seem this was acquired recently. Which would lead to me to believe that you had unprotected sex or you did something you usually don't do. As long as you can urinate you should be fine to wait it out some. Id say if this doesn't settle down for a week is see a Dr. To me it looks like a simple irritation of the phimotic band . Take some ibuprofen (max of 800mg a day) with food and see what happens.

Could it be an infection?

It wouldn't surprise me if this were an infection,if you are using soap to clean your foreskin you need to stop as soap can cause infections like this because it gets rid of good bacteria and invite bad ones, also it leaves cracks in the skin which can easily become infected. Has it's recently become like this or have you always been able to retract it?

It was always a little difficult for me to retract it but I could a little at least. Now I'm nowhere.
I was with someone who has UTI and although we didnt have sex we did have close contact, even when she had her period. Could that have triggered this?

UTI are caused by bacteria so that could be a cause, you can fix phimosis by having surgery that essentially opens it. That costs money though, at least here in the states. You can do it without surgery though. Through mitosis. What you do is essentially put something in the skin that puts tension on the skin. Enough to put pressure on the skin but not enough to hurt and it will eventually open up. There's a kit called phimocure that has had great success. It's 70 bucks though so you can make stretchers. In any case you need to sooth the redness and swelling. Do this by taking ibuprofen, ice/heat and clean it. NO SOAP just running water and your clean fingers

Sorry if i was too late but I have experienced the same problem too, Its just a infection. Wash your penile with some water, Make sure you pull the foreskin down. It makes it better

if its cracking and stuff is forming between the skin. its a yeast infection. doctors will never admit men can get yeast infections. go to rite aid, buy some monistat 7 and get it in between your foreskin and head of your penis. use a qtip if necessary. i love sugar i drink way too much of it and i get them from time to time.
