Hello, sorry to hear about Milo. It looks like he is having a degree of balanoposthitis or inflammation of the foreskin of his penis. This can be caused by bacterial infections and rarely malignant tumors (only seen here in the united states if traveling). He may need antibiotics to treat his infection. The area is very sensitive, therefore avoid handling it excessively. Have your veterinarian take a look at the area and decide wether Milo needs any medications. Hope this helps and best of luck.
