Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm having trouble with my foreskin not being able to open or stretch properly. Are there any creams or gels available in India that can help with this? I really want to avoid having surgery. Any advice would be appreciated.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is tight. There are non-surgical options, such as steroid creams (like betamethasone), which can help stretch the foreskin. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before using any treatment to ensure it's suitable for you.

what cream or oral medicine can help treat phimosis without needing surgery i really want to avoid surgery if possible
For mild to moderate phimosis, topical steroid creams and stretching exercises are often the first line of treatment, with the goal of softening and stretching the foreskin to allow it to retract more easily. Topical steroid creams, such as betamethasone valerate (Betnovate) or hydrocortisone, are commonly used. Stretching exercises, when combined with cream use, can further enhance the foreskin's elasticity and ability to retract
