Detailed Answer:
Great to know.
Please let me know Dermatologist's diagnosis.
Do not apply Betamethosone at the moment that is till seen by a Dermatologist. This is so as visual examination is a main part of a Dermatologist.
Please continue Kotase.
Also start taking Multivitamins, mineral, trace elements with Lycopene as these helps in recovery, good healing and strength to the healed wounds.

Povidone Iodine or Soframycin or Neosporin eye ointment are better

Detailed Answer:
In Nigeria, you should get the ointments I mentioned.
The wound is better.
The swelling underneath along with healing/fibrosis can make one feel firm to hard.
I hope the skin with the wound is freely XXXXXXX on the shaft.

Detailed Answer:
Wound looks better than before.
There is a ''healing edge'' at the skin level.
Cleaning the wound with liquid povidone iodine will help for control of infection and early healing.
Clean at least twice a week.
You can also dress the wound with sterile gauze soaked in Liquid Povidone Iodine and change twice daily.
Continue the medicines as advised.
Request for another course of an antibiotic.
Take care.
