Dry skin around penis and testicles - Men's Health Message Board

Hello. I'm 16, I have never had sex. I don't masturbate to much, maybe once every three days. But recentely I have acquired dry, flakey skin around my penis and testicles. It is sort of white and flakey. I do not want to consult a doctor about this just yet. Anyone know what this is or what I can do??

My first guess would be stop using shampoo or other such caustic products to masturbate with. They dry and damage the sensitive skin in your groin. If you have never used lubricants to masturbate with then I would suggest some good hand cream like vaseline intensive care. If you have been using something like intensive care then I suggest you are allergic to it and you should stop using it. Other wise you need to provide more information about what you have been doing.

That could be it. I'll see how that goes. Thank you so much for your help.
