Does anyone know the clinical term for infected foreskin or what diag you would use for that? thanks

Would the dx code for Balanitis apply in this case? 607.1 maybe?

Yes it applies. In my book under 607.1 it states Balanoposthitis. The foreskin is called prepuce and if you look under infection-prepuce, it gives 607.1 (hope this helps)
