in the last 5 or 6 months the skin on the head of my penis has been dry and wrinkled. its much worse after masturbation ive tried applying coconut oil ans a few other things wich make it better in the moment but once thats gone its dry again and im not sure what i should do. the picture shows when its been at its worst and im hoping for some direction
Dear elijah,
You’re on the right track about self-management of the dry skin on the penis. You could try alternative emollients like E45, Aveeno or Diprobase which are all safe to use on the genitals. Washing with Oilatum soap or other cleaning products for dry skin/eczema can also help.
If frequent dry masturbation is the main issue, then you may need to modify this habit…

If you are regularly washing your penis with soap and shower gel and stuff like that you need to move to water only and to protect your penile skin when you take a shower, fully rinse your penis at the end of a shower once you have cleaned and rinsed everywhere else.
You say coconut oil and a few other things - it is best to find and stick to one product. The coconut oil itself would be the one I would try on its own for 4 to 6 months once you stop using soap and body wash exposure on your penis …
