How long have you been experiencing pain and redness?:

it sounds like balanoposthitis, likely fungal or mixed infection, which is common in elderly men, especially with diabetes. Diabetes can make infections persist longer and slow healing.
External - Clean the penis gently with lukewarm water only (avoid soaps). Apply a thin layer of Triphaladi oil or coconut oil with a pinch of turmeric 2× daily. Avoid harsh antiseptics like iodine long-term—they can irritate skin. Keep the area dry and airy After washing, pat dry gently with a soft cloth. Avoid rubbing.
