Q: Penis Wrinkles

Hey.. This might sound weird, so bare with me. I'm a 19 yr old guy and as of recent, i've noticed that once i'm done masturbating, the head of my penis gets really... Dry and cracked, like as if you have really bad skin. This has only occurred recently, and it's been months since i've been sexually active with a girl. It is mostly just the head that gets really wrinkled and cracked, but as well just underneath it. (by the way, i'm uncircumsized). It does not affect my erection, but after ejaculation, the head becomes a bit more sensitive and a slight bit uncomfortable. I am worried that it's only going to get worse.

Does anyone have a clue what i'm talking about??? The closest thing I can describe it as is it's like having chapped lips.

If you can help or give any advice, that'd be great. Thanks!!!

By the way, this forum rocks. It's helped me out a few times before with other issues as well.

Do you masutrbate dry? If you do, I would start masturbating with some lube since your uncircumcized.
The dryness might be somewhat due to the foreskin. That area is often a damper area (especially when your uncircumzied; almost not an issue when you are circumcized) , but in some cases, you might not have enough moisture which might be causing the drier skin. I would say try using some ordinary lotion for a while and see if that helps. Also be sure to drink lots of water, as sometimes there is a connection between not having a enough water and dry skin.

i have the same problem. it gets really dry and wrinkly and sometimes flaky and i put lotion on it but it stays kinda red.

maybe this guy is on to something about drinking more water, because when i have sex or wank it i use lube so it cant be dryness from friction. sometimes when i havent had sex or jerked it for a while it gets bad, and sometimes the opposite happens. it gets red after i HAVE had sex or jerked it. sometimes it will get a little itchy or irritated if its red and i have sex with my gf without a condom. (sometimes we start out w/o the condom and then i put it on when i know im getting a little too close to an eruption) i cant tell whats causing it because it happens quite often.
