You have Muco Cutaneous Genital Candidiasis and need to rule out Diabetes .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

You are getting repeated infections of foreskin and glans which get cured with anti fungal cream (Candid cream).

Repeated genital infections of genitals are known to occur commonly in a individual with Diabetes ,

I would suggest you to get your blood sugar levels on empty stomach and two hours after lunch done to rule out or confirm about the diabetes .

Take antibiotics like Cefriaxome and anti fungal medication Fluconanzole twice daily along with topical anti fungal cream like Candid Cream \

Proper control of Diabetes is mandatory to prevent getting recurrent fungal genital infection

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
