The is not an infection, that is an emergency however. The penis must be returned to the protection of the prepuce or will eventually die off and require amputation. I recommend getting to an ER hospital tonight. In terms of at home remedies, you can try sterile lube and table sugar to try and reduce things. However, I believe at this point you may just want to leave things to the professionals.
