Why Is My Penis Dry And Cracking?

The skin on my penis (uncircumcised), is cracked, not bleeding or an open wound, just the skin is superficially cracked, as well as the head of the penis, the skin is not plump and as moisturized as it should be, are there any steps I can take to make my penis back to the way it was?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
I think it is due to fungal infections (candidiasis) or dermatitis. Exact diagnosis is made by consulting dermatologist after examination and proper investigation. (swab test, cell culture, serology, NAAT test). Take following advice: wear loose pure cotton inner wear, change undergarment after work out, avoid sweating. apply liquid base moisturizer that contain petroleum jelly, vitamin and mineral, clotrimazole cream, if severe you can use hydro cortisone cream and oral flucanazol.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
