Hi, I keep getting redness around the top of my penis glans. I've used topical anti-fungal cream, but it keeps coming back. I'm wondering if it's Balanitis. Any suggestions or advice?
Here is what it looks like. Thank you!

Looks like balanitis to me, but that normally responds very well to antifungal cream. There have some other threads here about people with more persistent balanitis that looks like yours, and I'll try to find those in a minute, but here's my standard cut and paste for balanitis:
If it's balanitis, then these links may help, though the second article is written for doctors:
https://patient.info/health/balanitis-leaflet
https://patient.info/doctor/balanitis-pro ;
Washing (with water, no soap) daily, and taking a leak and washing after masturbation or sex will probably help, and you could also try Canesten cream or Daktarin cream. Loose fitting cotton underwear may help, and some sites recommend washing underwear with non-biological washing powder or liquid.
(Canesten is also known as Clotrimazole, and Daktarin is also known as Miconazole or these brand names: Desenex and Zeasorb in US and Canada, Micatin, Monistat-Derm, Daktarin in India, UK, Australia, Belgium and the Philippines, Daktar in Norway, Fungidal in Bangladesh, Decocort in Malaysia.)
