I am planning to have oral sex, but the skin on the upper side of my penis is red, swollen, and painful. I consulted a general practitioner who prescribed Nuforce-GM cream, Aceflam-P tablets, Lecope tablets (for 3 nights), and Norflox 400 mg. What should I do before engaging in sexual activity?

Since you have redness, swelling, and pain, avoid sexual activity (including oral sex) until the area is completely healed to prevent worsening or spreading infection. Continue the prescribed treatment as advised and consult your doctor again if symptoms do not improve within a few days.
I have been experiencing intense itching for the last two weeks and have been using Nuforce-GM Cream without any improvement. What should I do?

You should stop using Nuforce-GM Cream (Clotrimazole, Neomycin, and Beclomethasone dipropionate) and consult your doctor. Persistent itching may indicate a resistant infection or another skin condition, and a proper examination or skin test may be needed to choose the correct treatment.
