Penis yeast infection- resistant to treatment?

I have had a red, dry rash on the head my penis for about 4 months now (I am circumsized and it does not itch). I think it could have been sexually acquired(I am negative for all STDs). It looks alright when I am flaccid but when i get erect/ejaculate it gets really nasty looking.. I do not believe it is just general irritation of the skin as it looks patchy and has raised red bumps that appear when erect. I have seen two primary car doctors and a dermatologist. I have treated it with Ketaconazole creme, hydrocortisone creme, Fluconazole tablets, and now terbinafine HCL tablets and nothing has worked... I have read types of yeast infections (candida Glabrata) can be resistant to many of these drugs..The rash does not bother me a ton, I can live with it, its the ability to potentially pass it on that scares me and is causing me bad anxiety.

My question is: after all these treatments, what kind of doctor can i see? I read infectious disease doctors can treat serious fungal infections but mine is just not going away its not life threatening. Im just really anxious about this and need some advice if anyone has been through something similar

I have a similar problem, painful never itchy. Mine is primarily on the top side of the head, is that the way it is for you?
