Thank you for submitting your question regarding Yoshi. I recommend that he sees his veterinarian soon. The skin over the penis is called the prepuce. It appears swollen and possibly infected. His veterinarian will need to evaluate his actual penis to see if it appears healthy or not. In the meantime, place an E-collar on him to prevent any further licking as this will only make it worse. I hope this information helps!
