When you took these photos how frequently had you been masturbating in the previous 24 hours, and in the previous 7 to 8 days?
Have you recently had unprotected penetrative or oral sex?
What do you wash your penis with: soaps, shower gel, other body wash? Do you use any form of lube for masturbation or sex - could be actual Lube, baby oil, skin cream or lotion - that kind of stuff ........ ?

I hadn't masturbated at all,I did have unprotected sex 23rd May, i wash with Nivea men shower gel twice a day, i haven't used any form of lube or oil. only used fucidin cream that I read might help.

How soon after the unprotected sex did you notice symptoms?
How long did you use the fucidin?
What you currently have is a mixture of circumstances that are not beneficial to your penile skin.
I would stop using the Nivea - simply wash with water and carefully fully dry. You may still have an infection hanging on following the recent sex - fucidin is an antibiotic, you can use this in the main for receiving oral or if you had anal.
If you had unprotected vaginal you more likely have a yeast / fungal infection - speak to a pharmacist of OTC medications, speak to a GP or contact a sexual health provider

Usually, a week and a half is too long, at least to be directly related. How would you describe your penile hygiene: do you regularly wash after urinating?
As I say the best step for you would be to speak to an actual pharmacist or a medical professional about getting this fully cleared

If you are referring to the fucidin when you state cream above what you need to do in basic terms is to closely follow the instructions and achieve consistency of application.
I cannot tell the detail from the last photo you have posted - looking at the first 2 photos and what you have on your penis now would you say there is clear improvement, or are you still concerned?
If so, you could try speaking to an actual pharmacist or try contacting your GP, or see if you can get to any Walk-in health facility or sexual health service
