Flacky Skin On Penis...

Is it normal for penis skin to be flacky and dry?
Is it the period of the 'shedding' of skin?
I have tried using moisturer down there but to no avail. LOL

This is actually very hard to answer because I have regular sex with my girlfriend.
But a few days ago.. maybe 3.. i just saw a small tiny part of it being flacky and dry and didnt really think much of it. Whilst having sex i pulled out my penis to prolong the session but I then saw several white spots on my penis.. but it could be easily flicked away. I asked my girlfriend about it and she said it was some usual minor infections hat happens here and there. While going down on her... Stenchhhh.. phew..
This is kinda gonna be hard to deduce the problem?
Plus I'm going to have sex with her tomorrow...
Ps. it aint itchy but after I pcc-ed, washed it and felt a momentary sting there.

Sooo.. if i got it after fucking..
what does that mean to mean anyway in my current condition?

For Bros who may have similar problem,

Balanitis is an inflammation of the glans (head) of the penis. It usually causes redness and/or a blotchy rash on the glans, sometimes with a discharge. The condition may be itchy or uncomfortable but often feels completely normal.

Why balanitis occurs
Balanitis is not sexually transmitted. It results from an overgrowth of organisms which are normally present on the skin of the glans. The condition most commonly occurs in men who have a foreskin (i.e. have not been circumcised). The environment under the foreskin is warm and moist, and these conditions often favour the growth of the organisms that cause balanitis.

These organisms are especially likely to multiply and cause inflammation if moisture is allowed to persist under the foreskin for a while. This may occur if you have not washed for a couple of days, or sometimes after sexual activity (vaginal, oral or anal - with or without a condom).

One common organism associated with balanitis is a yeast known as Candida albicans. Balanitis may occur because of excessive growth of Candida, due to moisture and warmth under the foreskin.

Management of balanitis
The aim of treatment is to keep the glans and foreskin clean and dry to make it difficult for organisms to grow under the foreskin. Medication (e.g. cream or ointment) is rarely necessary, and is usually less effective than good hygiene measures.


If you are prone to develop balanitis a few hours after sex, wash the penis as described above shortly after having sex. Make sure the glans is completely dry before replacing the foreskin.

These measures should lead to a rapid improvement in symptoms and help prevent further episodes of balanitis.

If you experience repeated attacks of balanitis despite adequate foreskin hygiene, consult your doctor.
