Surgery . Prescription strength steroid cream e.g. Betamethasone or kenalog (triamcinolone)  applied twice daily for a few weeks over tight are.

Question 3

What could this be. i have redness/creamy stuff around penis under foreskin itchy and painful if i pull foreskin back.

Well it ain't strawberry ice cream! Stuff can collect in there, called "smegma"(after that famous L.A. 70's experimental band...).And smegma should be cleaned away every day if it's there In your case,it sounds like it got infected, probably by a skin"fungus"(named after that famous Philly jam band).So wash with soap and water and apply Clotrimazole cream (get at 99cent store). No worky? See doc-y

Balanoposthitis is the inflammatory condition you have described. It can be caused by untreated fungal/monilial infections. Topical anti-fungal creams may help. Circumcision may also be a direct way to eliminate this infection cycle involving the foreskin. Seek an opinion and examination with your urologist to determine the best course of action.

A urologist is a specialist who can best help you as you may need circumcision once the pain and inflammation subsides. Right now this area needs to be cleaned properly before it will heal.
Wash it with warm water and gently pull back the skin back till all the white material collected under the skin(smegma) has been washed off. Repeat twice daily.
