Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal and bacterial infection. But if you had unprotected sex then STDs like chlamydia or gonorrhea can be suspected. Your doctor have given antifungal and antibiotics which cover all of these. Complete that course. If there is no improvement then it could be due to irritation from chemicals like soaps you use. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the penis head and instead use saline water.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
