    Dry flakey penis
    Hi I have got dry flakey penis for about 3 weeks now and I was wondering what it is and also what could I do to cure it?

    As a joke I could say wash it after intercourse... but to be very serious I would ask a Dr.

    I had that. Turns out that the lady pharmacist I was dating was having a turrible yeast infection and, what a deal! shared it with me. Didn't think to tell me about it either. Wish she had. Dang it. Of all the wimmen, you'd think she'd been std-free, but no!

    Its basically a fungal infection that itches like all get-out and dry, flakey skin, kind of like an old well-aged sunburn, isn't it?

    You can use any of a number of topical antifungals - any athlete's foot remedy should do it - Lamisil, whatever. If you don't get any relief after a couple of days then you may have to go see a Doc but I think you'll find that will do it. Use it and use it for at least a week (7 days) as you really don't want it to come back.

    Okay, I responded to your question so please to Rate This Answer. Thanks!

    You can also use vagisal, it is recommended for women who have itchy problems but it is actually even recommended by pharmacists for men as well.

    Vitamin E, are usually in these kind of creams. Vitamin e is important part in helping with the dryness and healing of the skin.

    Also to be on the safe side check with you doctor and get things checked out.
