What is fungal balanitis?

Patient's question:

Thank you, doctor. I have phimosis, but I always wash it off when I take a bath. The only time it happens is when I'm with my girlfriend and don't use protection. A few days later, it itches and red spots appear again. With my previous girlfriend, it was the same, but it didn't happen again. Is it possible that my current girlfriend has a disease related to this? I've had all the necessary tests at the hospital. What is fungal balanitis?
