What could cause flaking skin beneath the foreskin?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the attached images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), I can see that you have flaking skin due to friction or moisture because you mentioned that you did not clean your penis after sex. The discharge might have gotten stuck there and caused this. Sometimes, any allergic condition or skin problem might cause flakiness of the skin. However, if you do not have any associated symptoms like redness, swelling, or boils, there are fewer chances of an underlying allergic condition.

Clean your penis after intercourse with a soft and clean cloth. Wear comfortable and well-fitted undergarments. Keep this area clean and dry. I suggest you use a gentle moisturizer. Hopefully, it will improve in a few days or may take around one week. If the symptoms worsen, you must visit a nearby physician.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.

Hello,

I saw the attached image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It looks like hemorrhoids, but you should visit a nearby physician or general surgeon for a complete clinical examination because you can only feel external piles.

Using toilet paper and wet wipes might irritate the anus, leading to scratches or allergies. Straining while defecating might lead to hemorrhoids or fissures in the anus. I suggest you avoid using toilet paper or wet wipes for cleaning and use a water spray instead. Fill the tub with lukewarm water and sit in it for ten minutes after passing stools or twice a day. These are only precautionary measures and not the proper management.

I hope that you get your answer.

The glans skin might become dry, but you should not be worried about it. There are many treatment options available for hemorrhoids. So, I suggest you consult your physician about surgical options. However, the initial stages can be managed with medications.
