Hello and welcome to HCM,
Dry, loose and flaky skin on penis can occur due to primary skin disease.
Dryness of skin is observed in many conditions, most common being dermatitis and eczema.
Washing the skin with soap and water will not make the skin so dry.
A clinical examination is required to know the exact nature of the lesion.
A biopsy of the loose and dry skin may be required.
You need to consult a dermatologist for clinical examination, clinical examination and further management.
Thanks and take care
