Little white blisters followed by patchy red rash

First off thank you to anyone reading this and that may have some insight. Let me explain.

I havent had sex in a year. My last partner and I were together for 6 years. She was on birth control and we never used condoms and I never had any issues while I was with her.

For the past two months I have received what my doctor thinks is Balinitis due to a yeast infection. I'm 30 and when I was about 19-20 years old I had uti that I got treated but never went away. I thought it was just me not drinking enough water which may cause the burning pee once in a blue moon.

Well before this all started I went through a masturbating fit where I masturbated at least 2-3 a day for about two weeks. I used a.ton of lube and must not have cleaned up properly afterwards because that's when I started to notice very small, red rashes in patches just below my glans (glands) and inside of my foreskin. Eventually it go itchy and the rash took over the inside of my foreskin and whole penis head. It was tomato red and burned and stung really bad.

I immediately went to my doctor and he said I have a yeast infection. He prescribed me ketoderm which seemed to make the redness worse and itchier. After three days of unbearable pain I started using a OTC cream to cure foot fungus and jock itch on my penis head and  in between sessions of the Ketoderm which I was to use twice daily. No results. Just a bright red and painful stinging penile head. I quit using the ketoderm after a week and stuck to the fungus cream. Went back to doc he took a swab around the crown of my head and we found out there still was some yeast and to use only the ketoderm. Ok. I did. Same thing. I stopped and bought monistat 7 that came in pre filled applicators.

I would rub in the monistat and no help. Then I would coat the penis head with it and the inside of my foreskin and roll the foreskin up and over the head. After about 6 days it was all but gone. The monistat made my foreskin really dry and dyed my penis. I had another doctors appointment so I didn't want him to think the discoloration was due to the infection so I did something bad. I furiously rubbed the layers of monistat off. Then I used the ketoderm for the two days. Results? Red rashes ALL OVER my penis immediately followed by little, moist, white sacs all over my penis. Everywhere there was a rash. I showed him and he prescribed me this reqlly strong anti fungul pill i down once a day for two weeks and to use the keto. More blisters and when they pop or get rubbed off they leave a rash behind. I went back and my doc said if the monistat worked the best to go back to that. They have me going to a urologist on the 13 of oct.

Now Monistat won't work and it just made the white sacs bigger and faaaar more of them. Today will be the first time that  I'm only using the keto and my second refil on the pills.  I had used combos of "cures" and I think I may have
over stimulated. I also used vinegar (maybe not diluted enough) and would soak my penis in it for about 5 min 3-4
time a day for the first 2 weeks of this issue.

Currently it has spread to between the crevase of my thighs and crotch (not itchy anymore and going away, not even noticeable unless I look at it and this looks just red and patchy like jock itch. The ketoderm works very well on it and it was in between my butt and is gone from there too (still using keto till the redness is gone fully). I do not wash those areas with soap just a hard stream of warm water. Usually it makes it worse for a few min then it feels sooooo cool and cold and relaxing.

I bought 10 million culture probiotic vitamins. Vitamin c and e. I hear those help fight yeast infections. I am so scared as I have only had two long term partners with no side effects. I know it's not an STD.

I also have started to do a lot of cardio 5 days a week and sweat a lot. I change out of clothes twice during my work out to not sit in damp moist clothes and shower within 20-60 min after wards (usually far less).

My foreskin is a bit tight and at one point was cracking but that's better now. Although it still is a bit hard to retract but also looks a bit swollen sometimes, no more cracking or pain when pulling the skin back. My UTI seems to have cleared and it only stings the tip of my head when it's red. The tip rarely gets red anymore. Mostly the glands, crown, inside of foreskin and every where there is a red rash gets covered with the white bumps which easily rub off.

Please help me. I've had this since mid July and I'm feeling very diconnected from the world and so depressed. I can't sleep at night and spend HOURS a day and night reading the same things over and over.

I think I'm over stressing and over meditating a yeast infection that's been in me for a long time. Please help. I can post a photo if you like.

I think you are on the right track with the probiotics if it is indeed yeast. A couple of suggestions for you. Try to go clothing free at night if you can so air can get to the area. You can also open a probiotic capsule and sprinkle the powder directly onto the area as well as continue to take it orally. (Are you taking heavy doses-youi should be. You can take a couple of capsules a few times a day). Eliminate sugar from you diet as much as you can while you are trying to heal (also elminate diet sweeteners like in diet soda, this is not much better unless you are using Stevia.) Sugar feeds yeast. Once you have your body back to balance you can adjust your diet.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Thankyou for your reply. I've been sleeping nude and quit sugars but replaced them with sole da and things like that. I'll use more probiotic capsules. I take the 10 million culture capsules twice a day. I've only started since yesterday though. I'll take 2 a day and sprinkle some of the stuff onto the head of my penis midway through the day. I have used the ketoderm one time and have stopped over medicating and my redness and rashes have gone a bit down. Thank you so much for writing back. You have lifted some burden off my shoulders and I wish you the best of everything in your life. I mean it. Thank you Sherri. :)
