According to the symptoms you've mentioned
(redness under the foreskin and a
urinating problem), it seems that you
might be experiencing inflammation of the
glans penis, so called the "balanitis".
This condition is characterized by a
erythema, or edema, of the foreskin,
urinating difficulties, itching ,sometimes
discharge etc. You may consult a urologist
for an expert opinion.
