What Causes The Foreskin To Be Flaky And Leather Like?
The outer layer of my foreskin has completely died and become flaky and leatherlike. This has happened once before about a year ago. Except it was extremely painful and I wish to be done with it as soon as possible. Anyone know what is wrong and how to make it end faster?
Thanks for query .You have not mentioned your age in your query .
Dry flaky and dry foreskin is mostly due infection of foreskin (Posthatitis)
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefrfloxacin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Soframycin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
