What Could Cause Extreme Dryness And Scaly Head Of Penis With History Of Being Sexually Inactive?

Hello! For about two months now I have been noticing that the head of my penis is becoming more and more scaly and dry. It s not flaking or bleeding but it s is extremely sensitive. I have tried jock itch cream but that doesn t seem to help. I have never had sexual intercourse so I don t think it would be an STD. What do you think it is?

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you are a teen aged boy, mastrubating, and exerting more pressure on the glans.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods,to have good health resistance against the infections.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms cifixime, multivitmins and anti oxidants.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
