Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to penile eczema. I suggest to continue using a steroid cream for local application such as Betametasone cream. I also suggest using an antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
