How to treat dry foreskin

Guest over a year ago

I'm 21, and i've had this before!
My first guess was that it was just dry, and my skin is just closing up because of a a little tight foreskin!
But i do masturbate a lot actually, and i do have sex alot to!
last time i had this i freaked out, and thought that i might have some STD!
But i took 2 urin tests, and they were all clean!

Now just yesterday, i felt my foreskin to be alittle dry!
And i saw the upper layer of my skin falling off(being white etc)!
And when i woke up today, i cant even get the foreskin back!
It has opened, and it pretty much hurts!

Im going to the doctor as soon as i can!
But, does this in anyway seem like a fungi infection?!
Will i be able to have sex in the week?
Thank you!

Yes this is thrush.

athletes food and thrush are both fungal - im pretty sure both candidal.

unfortunately for me - its been 3 weeks using anti-fungal cream. and its not letting up.
gonna have to see the doctor.

Thanks Dave,
After much research it turns out it's a male version of a yeast infection and any over the counter atheletes foot/jock itch cream clears it in two to three days just great, thanks for the lead Dave

I had dryness for months and tried lots of creams but none worked! I went to Doctor and was prescribed a canesten cream that you can buy over the counter but that didn't work either. I had enough by my 2nd visit to Doctor and was ready to have Circumcision but a new Doctor told me that a cream with antibiotics in it would probably work and prescribed me Fucibet. Within days it was much better and within a week or so it was clear.

I actually just got the dryness this morning when I woke up, it started out with a little itch last night and I guess by this morning its cracked and even bled some. Who knows what I was doing in my sleep.. But! I woke up and googled it to see if I was harboring some sort of disease, nope, turns out it's normal. I personally second the nivea cream idea. It has cooled off my manhood.

Hi there, Reading your post, I feel that I am writing it. I have exactly the same problem. Tight, dry, small parts of upper layer falling off, whiter color. Please tell me if the problem is gone with you and what you have done. Thanks in advance.

I'm a50 year old male and for the last 3-4weeks I've experienced a drying out of the foreskin. Due to that problem my wife and I have been using lubricants to help during intercourse (if not doing so there was a very real chance for foreskin to brake). But, sometimes, even with lots of lubrication, the skin around my penis and foreskin gets these little cuts. If she performs oral sex on me is not so problematic. Is this normal? What can I do to prevent this?

This may just be irritation due to the friction of sex or your wife’s body chemistry, but the symptoms sound like a yeast infection. I would strongly recommend seeing a doctor to be sure, but you can treat this with over-the-counter anti-fungal creams. If you do have a yeast infection, your wife should be treated, as well. You might also consider a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) to support foreskin health and speed healing of the cracked, dry skin.

Good luck!

I tend to get a dry foreskin in the colder/dryer months - I figure its due to the lack of moisture in the air.. Combine that with lots of masturbation/sex and the skin starts to get dry and flaky. So whenever I masturbate, I try to keep the foreskin wet with my spit or use lube. I'm recon a mild moisturiser could help too - but I wouldn't put it on before having sex..

If anti-fungal creme doesn't help maybe try what I do when I occasionally get dry cracked foreskin. Wash thoroughly with wash cloth and water, let the water loosen the skin up so you can pull it back and wash inside. Dry thoroughly. Apply baby oil or 100% coconut oil inside and out (may want to wear some underwear you're not concerned about). Do this 2 or 3 times a day if you can. This usually clears me up in about 4 days or so, it's painful at first. Make sure it's dry inside the skin or it will make it worse.
