Hello
Thanks for your query. I understand your concern with the genital symptoms. Chapped foreskin can either be due to dryness I.e inadequate lubrication or infections. If it is inadequate hydration ude of lubricants and consumption of lot of water along with use of loose undergarments is sufficient. If adsociated with an infection a thorough exsmination is warranted before prescribing antibiotics or antifungals. Hope you found the information useful.
