Can I Use Vitamin E Supplements To Cure Dryness And Flakiness On Penile Foreskin For Possible Eczema?

I am uncircumcised. My skin sometimes gets dry and has white flaky skin on it. Not on the whole shaft but on the tip of the shaft where the foreskin is and on one other area. I also get very small (three or four) cuts with the flaky skin. I was told it could be eczema and whenever I use vitamin e it seems to go away. It comes back if I masturbate a lot

Hi,

I can understand your concern for dryness and flakiness on penile foreskin for possible eczema. I suggest you some measures toreduce the dryness:

-Wash your penile area for two times in a day with plane water. Wash it very gently but properly. It is quite important to retract your skin fully backwards and then wash the area.

- After every sexual intercourse/masturbation too, wash the area properly.

- Wear cotton undergarments. Change these two times a day. Do not wear any synthetic or tight garments.

- Avoid intercourse for few days. Preferably do not masturbate for few days. When starting again then be gentle and do not be vigorous in the act.

Take care.
