Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Prickly heat or miliaria is due to blockage of sweat ducts. Prickly heat powder will give you a soothing effect, but would not cure it.
Stay away from heat as much as possible. If you can stay in ac it will be good. Take cold showers several times a day or keep splashing cold water or use cold compresses. It is better to avoid food rich in fat, red meat and fried items.
Penis tip losing pigmentation could be due to leukoderma or lichen sclerosus. I would recommend you to see a dermatologist for that to diagnose and initiate treatment early.
Hope this helped
Take care
