What Could Be The Reason For Having Dry Skin On My Penis And Cuts Around The Head Of Penis? How To Overcome This?

My husband is experiencing dry skin on his penis and cuts around the head of his penis. It s painful for him and it s getting worse. This has never happened to him. What could it be? I m pregnant and had a yeast infection but that was treated and shortly after he had these symptoms. He has no other signs of a yeast infection. No white discharge, no burning when urinating...nothing else. Just small cuts around the head and a dry shaft. What is this and how can we treat it?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

It can be due to dermatitis or eczema skin. Treatment depend upon the severity of symptoms. In severe case patients need a higher-potency steroid.But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist. Symptoms can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin.

Thanks
