Suggest Treatment For Swollen Penis With Peeling Skin

My husband took some antibiotics and I guess he had a bad reaction to them. His gums, lips, butt (in the crack) and penis are swollen and the skin is peeling off. He says he s in a lot of pain because of the raw skin showing. He has already used triple antibiotics cream and trying to keep the areas dry. He s having the most trouble with his penis healing as he is not circumsized. Do you have any suggestions on what to do to clear this up?

Ideally he should follow up with a dermatologist if he is not already doing so.
It is good that he is on a triple antibiotic but he may also require oral or topical steroids to help.
Kind regards
