What Causes Irritation And Ruptured Skin On Penis After Intercourse?
I recently noticed I had some irritation on my penis after sex, this was when I went in from behind her. Later I figured that due to penetration when dry my skin had ruptured and the skin later was peeling off my penis. Is this something to worry about?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Your symptoms are speaking of the probable cause of rupture.
As you have mentioned that the skin was dry during penetration.
Friction can increase due to dry skin and thus can lead to damage or rupture of the skin.
You can apply emollient on the ruptured skin.
Avoid sexual activity till the ruptured skin heals.
Thanks and take care
