Hi,
It seems that there might be having some infection on glans due to not cleaning smegma under the foreskin.
Due to deposition of smegma local infection is likely.
Continue applying anti fungal and apply antibiotic cream as well.
Go for short antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Keep your local hygiene clean and dry.
Make a habit of cleaning smegma averting foreskin daily while taking bath.
Ok and take care.
