If your foreskin is tight and difficult to retract, a steroid cream may help. Topical steroid creams, like those containing betamethasone, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone, can reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Applying the cream regularly as directed by a doctor, along with gentle stretching exercises, can improve retraction

I'm really concerned because it feels like my penis has lost all sensitivity and there's no erection at all. It suddenly seems like there's no blood flow, and honestly, it's like it's dead. I'm unsure whats going on and would really appreciate some guidance on what kind of treatment I should consider. Can anyone help?

I'm dealing with an ongoing infection under my foreskin and on the top of my penis. I've been seeing a dermatologist for a couple of months, and while it got better at first, the infection hasn't completely gone away and seems to have gotten worse again. Should I stick with the dermatologist, or is it time to see a urologist? Any advice on what I should do next?

that looks like venereal disease , ask your dermatologist fpr appropriate approach there will be seperate kit for each such disease u can ask for such treatment, personal hygiene is most important and refrain from sexual activity untill you are completely recovered.
