Thank you user for your query.
There may be chances that you are having allergy to the condom, as the lubricant used in condom can cause allergy sometimes.
As an initial treatment you can use any moisturising cream or it would be better if you can use any cream having triple action (steroids+neomycin+fluconazole).
Avoid doing intercourse till your penis gets healed up completely as it might freshen up the wound again.
If at all your penis skin won't turn up normal after two weeks show yourself to skin specialist.
God Bless
