Is this balanitis or just blood vessels?

1.5y ago the skin on my glans started to peel of and since then i have tried million things to get it back to the way it was before the peeling.
During this period i have tried both bacterial and fungal ointments, pills and creams but nothing has helped so far. After 3 different doctors and no help, im curious if anyone has had something like this?
I have no bumps, no itching, just redness that is always there. Especially visible after masturbation or when showering with hot water. Then the redness takes like 2-3 days to subside, if i don't masturbate or do anything, just leave it, then it is same as the uploaded picture.
The last dermatologist said that there is no infection, but the skin has been damaged from the stuff that was used. She suggested i use Alkagine shower and gel (intimate) to help the skin heal, but even after a month, i don't see any difference what so ever.
This has been bugging me for 1.5y, i'm wondering if anyone has had something similar and how did you solve it?

Do you have a photo after masturbating that shows how bad it gets?

Not sure if you can notice the red patches & small bumps, weirdly after 15 min or 30, it goes down and they are not that visible.
Currently using Alkagin gel, the last dermatologist said that she does not think that it is some kind of infection. That is most likely some kind of scaring from a previous infection. Really weird even after more than a year.

It seems like you have tried a of of things to clear it up. Did you also have a STI check, just in case?

yes, the STI check showed nothing. After that the first doctor did a swab test and identified very little fungal infection for which I was given a cream for 2 weeks. But the appearance stayed the same even with different treatment options after that. And still 1.5y after that, it is still the same. And it bugs me because I know how it was before.

One month later and the issue seems not to be approving? Anyone have any suggestion? i have been going crazy about this, to the point it starts to affect my sex life and makes me depressed.
