Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you have split in the foreskin because of the dryness which leads to breach in the mucosa which leads to your symptoms.

To prevent further damage to the mucosa your doctor as prescribed the cream.
You need to keep this area dry and clean for complete healing of the injury.

You need to take a course of antibiotics to treat infection and to fasten the recovery. You can apply T Bact ointment on the penis, which keeps the area and clean and helps to heal your condition.
Thank you.
