What Could Slight Burning And Itching Tip Of Penis, Cracking Skin With No Help From Miconazole Nitrate Be?

I have been to a health clinic two times now because of a slight burning/itching on the tip of my penis. I m slightly red around the penis hole and it seems that the skin is cracking up. I have been tested for STD (all negative) such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, etc, and gotten a bunch of antibiotics for it. The doctor at the health clinic thought it might be a yeast infection and gave me miconazole nitrate 2% to put on the penis two times per day for a week. It has been a week and I still feel pain/itching. I have no idea what to do; keep applying the cream or just wait it out.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be due to the diabetes, the cracking of fore skin of the penis is usually due to the diabetes,So first of all it should be excluded.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis, or to exclude the diabetes.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms fluconazole,cifixime, ornidazole.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
