Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be eczema. It is not looking like a fungal infection.
It is not due to overuse of steroids as you have used only hydrocortisone cream over it which is very mild to cause any side effects.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to again apply steroid cream like mometasone cream or clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily for 2 weeks and apply a moisturising cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire penile skin frequently and liberally for 2-3 weeks.
Besides this take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine 4 mg twice daily till the itching subsides.
This will resolve the eczema.
Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
