Is this balanitis?

So this really is frustrating, no matter what i do i can't seem to fully rid myself of this, if i use steroid cream such as clotrimozole or daktacort it clears up and constant application keeps it at bay, however when i stop using them it just returns in a matter of days. 

I have been to doctors and clinics and it has been diagnosed as thrush, i shower daily making sure to just use water when washing my penis but it just keeps coming back and is really starting to aggravate me.... any advice and does it look like balanitis?

    I think it might be.

    Have you considered circumcision? I did it a year ago and no probs since

    Cut sugar from your diet and get yourself a microbacterial wash for your penis like dermol 500 use it morning and night and u should notice a difference

      Thanks i dont generally intake a lot of sugar or at least an over influx of sugar as i track calories so i'm aware of my intake and i will definitely look into the wash as its really frustrating having to apply steriod cream to keep it at bay.
