Foreskin dry and cracked. Great thanks for this forum. Excuse my bad english. I have 32 years. My Foreskin is mild narrowed. When the penis is an erection, Foreskin glides smoothly. Mar 21, 2018 - This can lead to flaking, cracking, and peeling of the skin. On one or more areas of the penis, such as the glans (head), shaft, foreskin, frenulum, or scrotum. It causes intense itching, a dry, scaly rash, and inflammation.

That's either bad or lichen sclerus (aka balanitis xerotica obliterans or BXO). I wouldn't normally recommend that people see a doctor about balanitis, but in your case, I think you should. You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google 'GUM clinic near me' for details. If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. If you don't see a doctor, it may well just fix itself, but I'd get it checked out if I were you. Are you diabetic or taking any btw? Thanks for the quick reply!

The swelling went down the next day and the dry skin is only really like that first thing in the morning - as soon as i've been in the shower everything looks a lot better, though the two cuts are still there and I'm guessing they're healing as the day goes on until I interrupt the process with a toilet break. I used Nivea moisturiser cream on it and that made a huge difference to the pain when retracting. No to diabetes and not had antibiotics for a long time but I did bite my tongue last month (badly. Ouch!) which ended up swollen with a white thrush-like coating all over.

Guess I should've seen the doc after that. I'll try Canesten and see if there's any change over the next few days but if it gets worse then I will make an appointment with the GP.
