What Causes A Flaky Substance On The Foreskin Of Penis?
Doctor,
I have what seems to be a flaky substance on the foreskin and 'helmet' of my Penis.
My partner and I have been using moisturising cream upon my Penis as a lubrication but effects have only come to light recently, causing me to believe that it is something else.
My foreskin can become uncomfortable but has not been as bad the last few days. I noticed effects 1 week ago.
We had been having a lot of Sexual Intercourse lately.
We do not use a condom and either of us has not had intercourse with anyone else.
What do you think it could be?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
It's a common thing seen on the foreskin, after use of any cream.
Maintain good penile hygiene.Keep the area moisture after a bath or wash.
If you feel dryness, you can apply vaseline safely.While bathing, withdraw foreskin completely and wash the penis area exposed thoroughly.
