Brief Answer:
Balanaoposthitis

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback and the picture.

This called balanoposthitis.
The effective treatment is as follows:
Clean the area with plain water 2 to 4 times a day and and keep it dry with a pure cotton cloth or a dryer.
you may apply liquid Povidone Iodine locally or a Metronidazole cream- nothing else at all. We have seen no results with any other solution, cream or ointment. So do not try anything else; if you are using any, please stop it.

A course of antibiotic ( you are already under a good antibiotic) and metronidazole orally for 5 to 7 days and a single dose of oral anti-fungal tablet should help you to get a cure.
Please get your Blood Sugar checked.

I hope this answer helps you to get a proper solution, please feel free to ask further if you need any additional information and you may rate this answer before closing.

Wishing you an early and complete recovery....

Brief Answer:
Liquid Povidone Iodine locally to penis

Detailed Answer:
Use liquid Povidone Iodine locally as explained. I hope this is available over the counter. Liquid povidone is used locally to be applied over the penis.

For oral antibiotic and Metronidazole ( to be taken as tablet forms orally), you need a prescription of a local Doctor.
Since there is a history of unprotected oral sex, it is better to take a course under prescription of a local Doctor.

Do i need to use one method or both methods?
doctor
Answered by Dr. T Chandrakant (3 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Both

Detailed Answer:
You Obviously have to use both method if you want a permanent cure.
This is because your penis was exposed to the oral bacteria.
And it has caused a problem.
