Hello,
Welcome to Health care Magic
What was the diagnosis of the penile and eye rash and what was the cream given?
It is unlikely that both rash is the same. Dry itchy skin around eye could be a contact dermatitis. Skin around the eyes are very sensitive. Have you started using any new face washes or cosmetics? skin around eyes are also prone for air borne contact allergies. Air borne allergens like pollens, cement, dust etc can cause the rash.
It is better to consult a dermatologist as you don't seem to improve with the creams prescribed by GP.
Keep washing your face regularly and frequent application of moisturiser after wash will help.
Hope this helped
Take care
