Redness on foreskin cause?

10 days ago I woke up with a redness on the underside of my foreskin and glans. I applied canestan thrush cream for 2 days before seeing a doctor who prescribed canestan HC. The doctor seemed unsure over the cause of this redness. I used the cream for a further week which seemed to slightly decrease the redness however didn't fully eradicate it. I saw another doctor 4 days ago who prescribed me terbinifine for a month and flucoxicillan tablets for a week, and I have also been using miconazole 2% which seems to have slightly decreased the redness again on my foreskin and completely eradicated the redness on my glans. I'm unsure as to what could of caused this as I'm very hygienic and wash under there every day, and I have since switched to an anti bacterial soap for sensitive skin in case of reaction. I have also been on tetralysal acne tablets for about 2 months and am unsure if this is a reaction to that. I'm mainly concerned about getting rid of the redness as there is literally no other symptoms such as pain or itching, and woukd like my penis looking normal again. I am 16 by the way and a virgin, so this couldn't be an STD. I am wondering how long roughly this could take to clear up

    I probably should have mentioned the doctor who prescribed canestan HC said it should be gone in about a week which wasn't the case

      Also my diet is pretty good so I doubt this is a reason, I've never had something like this happen before

    Well I have the exact same issue my friend. Doesn't seem to be going away but doesn't seem to be getting any worse. Kind of looks like a reddish orange band around the end of my foreskin. Doesn't cause any immediate pain or difficultly in retracting.

    Let me know if you find a cure

      I will do, thing is mine seems to be going at a very slow rate but I'd rather just get rid of it quickly

      For 5 weeks or so now. I initially had Chlamydia then the onset of several other issues which is just making me feel completely suicidal to say the least. Been doctors 4 times with it and I feel like they think I'm actually hypochondriac. Really struggling with the mental effects this is having but trying to stay strong and have hope that everything will be okay eventually.
