I've been dealing with a cracked foreskin because of a fungal infection, and I'm really worried about it. I've tried using Betamil GM ointment, but I haven't seen any improvement. Could you suggest the best medication or treatment for this issue? I'm kind of at a loss here and really need some guidance.

It seems like the fungal infection might require a more targeted treatment. I recommend consulting a doctor for an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole or Miconazole, and potentially an oral antifungal if the infection is persistent. In the meantime, keep the area dry and avoid any irritation.
