Hello boy
I have read completely yr question
As yr age is teen you are in phase of hormonal changes.
That makes you sometimenes more prone to fungal infection.
Yr penis peel is may be because of fungus but it may be due to one substance called Smegma which is found under the penile skin over the glance. If it is fungal infection there must be sone redness and itching, which is not here so it is not fungal.
You need to treat fungal infection to other body parts. And for that see ur physician.
Hope i have answer yr question to yr satisfaction level.
Plz give us star rating as much yr satisfaction level.
Thankinh you
