Hi,
Peeling skin with bumps on the penis could be caused by a variety of conditions, including a fungal infection, a sexually transmitted infection (STI), or an allergic reaction. Your husband needs to see a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Fungal infections like candidiasis or balanitis can cause peeling skin, redness, and bumps on the penis. These infections can be treated with antifungal creams or oral medication.
STIs such as genital warts or herpes can also cause bumps on the penis. These conditions require medical treatment and can be spread through sexual contact. An allergic reaction to a product used on the penis, such as soap or lotion, could also cause peeling and bumps. Avoiding the product and using a gentle, fragrance-free soap can help alleviate symptoms.
It is important for your husband to practice good hygiene and avoid sexual contact until a healthcare provider has diagnosed and treated the underlying condition. If left untreated, some conditions can be spread to sexual partners.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
