Have Peeling Of The Skin Under The Head Of The Penis. Had Intercourse Earlier. What Could Be The Reason?

my skin just under the head of my penis is peeling really bad. the night before this began i was having sex with my wife and we used olive oil for lube. the next day we used no lube, the skin became very irritated and i had all these tiny little blisters ind the head of my penis. It is now been 2 days and i am peeling very bad, and the skin is moist and gross. when I pull my skin down a little to look I started to crack and bleed a little in one spot, what is this?

It appears that you have a fungal infection of the glans,as also balanitis which may occur due to friction/irritation/chemical use.You and your wife need to take oral and local antifungal drugs together to prevent recurrence of this infection.Your doctor can guide you further.
