What Causes Dryness On The Foreskin With Little Red Tears?

Hi there. I recently (around 6 weeks ago) started seeing this girl, who is now my girlfriend. We have had lots of unprotected sex (she is on the pill), but in the last week I have noticed that the end of my foreskin keeps drying out, and consequently flaking. It is irritating if I pull it back, as the skin is so tight from being dry. If I do pull it back, the skin develops little read tears.

I just want to know really if my new sexual partner has given me an STI? As I have never had this problem with any other girl I have had sexual relations with.

Any help would be much appreciated :) Thanks
