Hi
Welcome to HCM and hanks for your query.
It looks like you have infection of the foreskin and may be glans.
The steroid has worsened the situation based on the description.
It is better to use antibacterial creams like soframycin/ bacitracin and maintain hygiene.
If it does not improve, it is wise to consult a surgeon/ urologist.
Get well soon,
Regards
DR GS
