Red spots on penis

I've had these red, shiny areas on my penis for about 4 months now. The skin is smooth, dry and not raised or thick. It started as one larger patch on the back of my shaft and now there are 4 smaller circles on the left of my shaft. There is als scarring or white discoloring under the red rash. It will look al little better at times, then get worse again. I've tried Lotrimin AF. Nothing seems to help at all.
Any ideas? Picture attached in my profile.

Just an FYI- posting photos isn't allowed, so it's likely those will be removed if they are of your penis, also, no one should diagnose something like that from a photo- it's important to have the condition looked at by a doctor in person.  

It sounds like this has been going on for a while?  Have you been to a doctor at all?

I went to a doctor a few months ago and was told it was a yeast infection. The medicine I was given really never worked. Now its back in several spots.

Not only is it embarrassing going to the Dr for something like this, I also don't have good health insurance.

Yeast infection is a common misdiagnosis from what I am told.
