What Causes Unresolved Itching And Peeling Of Penis Skin?

I am circumcised, my penis started itching a lot the last two months. I scratched it a lot and it became swollen and red. A couple of days later, it became very dry and the skin was sort of peeling off. So I peeled the skin and in some rare cases I cut myself. But it's cool. I tried anti-fungal cream and it didn't work, also tried baby powder, did not work. 1 month later i go to visit a dermatologist. He said I have an allergy and prescribed Eodine 2% to put morning and night and 1 pill of AERIUS. Took the treatment for a week and did not work. Last week I decided to do the treatment again, also failed. My penis is scratching now with a sticky fluid on it below the head on the left side of the skin (If I'm looking down.) I am sexually active, but during the second treatment I didn't have intercourse. So, What the hell is up? - Thanks.

Hi,

It may be contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist again and discuss with him about probable allergens like soap,clothes, spray, Powder,perspiration..etc.

After thorough examination and investigations, he may give proper drugs.
