Pain & Irritation in the shaft & the frenelum, a little bit sticky or sweaty when I touch the skin, the skin starts developing cracks gradually over a long period ( 8 years) , when it’s active the cracks looks a little bit shiny like silver, with medication it gets better but always comes back again
