I'm a bit concerned after using permethrin cream to treat my scabies. The itching all over my body has stopped, but now the skin on my penis is really dry and flaky, and it's causing cuts. I had scabies on my scrotum and penis too. Is this a normal reaction to the treatment, or should I be worried?

I've noticed that the head of my penis has been affected by what looks like a fungus. There are tiny white dots on it, and the top skin seems to be slit or cut with small cuts. It's got me worried. What could be causing this and what should I do?
