Suggest Remedies For Dry And Flaky Skin Around Penis
I have had dry flaky skin on the side of my penis, I am circumcised, if I don t moisturize it with a yeast infection cream or neosporan it s red and shiny and the skin is very smooth but flaky. It doesn t burn, I have no discharge, might get a little itchy if I don t keep it moisturized with something but I don t scratch it at all I just want it to heal already.

Hello
You are having candidal balanitis; a fungal infection.
Get your blood sugar done.
Apply clotrimazole lotion, take oral antifungal like itraconazole 200 mg once daily and also moisturize. Ask your sexual partner for any itching over private parts as it may be sexually transmitted. Give her oral antifungal if so or see a gynecologist.
Hope this information helps you.
