Dark Spot On Penis And Applied Antifungal Cream. Is There A Chance Of Getting STD?

Question: I posted this query 10 days ago about a dark flaky spot on the outerskinof penis .I attached sample pictures too.. Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX kanodia examined them and asked me to apply antifungal cream as he diagnosed it as a mild fungal infection. However, even after applying the cream, the blackish spot is still as visible but not dry as before. I was worried if I should get it examined. Is there a chance of this being a STD or cancer. Pictures are attached in my previous query which I had closed out later

Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query.
Cancers grow at a very rapid rate with ulceration.
So dont worry it might not be a cancer.
Can you please upload another photograph or let me know the previous query id.
Seeing the picture will give me all required information and I would be able to help you much better.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you

I can find the query id for the last one I had raised even when I open it from my inbox. Had raised it on 24th october an Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Kanodia had answered it, if that helps in locating it. I do not have those pictures anymore.
I have added three latest pictures for you to examine if incase you dont find the previous query

Hello XXXXXXX
Sorry for the delay in response.
I saw the photographs. It is just a fungal infection and not cancer or any other thing.
Keep applying the anti fungal cream along with that you can also use a mild steroid like fluticasone cream.
This will give you a faster relief.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
