Inflammatory case

Circumsized. First symptom was sensitivity in July (7/2025) with associated red splotch on head of glans. I stopped all physical activity to avoid irritants (friction). I've tried many different types of boxers to avoid the physical friction irritation, and recently just switched to boxer briefs and are giving those a shot.
My treatment has followed:

nothing but rest (8x weeks)
vaseline (2x weeks)
coconut oil (2x weeks)
otc antifungal 1% clotrimazole once daily (1x weeks)
nothing --- (2x weeks)
otc 1% cortisone cream twice daily (2x weeks)
nothing --- (3x weeks)
Desoximetasone .25 % --- (Just starting)

No improvement from any of this. Just a red spot 1.5cm in diameter that is sensitive to friction. I went to a derm who said this is very common and diagnosed inflammatory balanitis. He prescribed desoximetasone twice daily for two weeks and then one to two times per week as needed. Skeptical, I started one to two times per week for three weeks and saw mild improvement. Started twice daily yesterday (1/12/26). Curious if anyone else has a similar presentation and any advice. Also, if anyone has used that particular steroid gel, or if anyone has used tacrolimus.
