Have Dry Patches Around Penis, Flaky. Applying Cortizone, Did Masturbation. Underlying Cause?

Hi, I have noticed dry patches around the head and shaft of my penis which has become flaky at times. It appeared kindve out of nowhere about a week ago. The only thing I can possibly think its from is masturbating one night and leaving the tissue on my penis. I have been applying cortizone, and I did masturbate a couple other times and it burns temporarily then goes away. What could this possibly be?

Hi
It could be due candida fungus.Cortisone alone can increase it.Use clotrimazole or miconazole ointment for one week.And you might need a fluconazole tablet 150 weekly once for four weeks orally.Hope this may help you.
thanks
