Hmm, definitely some irritated tissue there, perhaps a bit a prolapse. It could be a sign of infection/impaction or a symptom of parasites.

See "Prolapse" on this page:

And here's also an article on impacted hemipenes, since his look a bit swollen on one side:

If you are able to see a veterinarian that treats exotics, that would be a good course of action. It's obviously difficult for us to diagnose the problem over the internet.

I ended up going to the vet and it turned out to be a sperm plug

Great, glad it was a simple fix. Check out that article on "Impacted Leopard Gecko Hemipenes" for tips to help prevent a plug like that in the future.
