Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: See a urologist so to work together &amp; see what can be done about it. If hygiene-related, improve it with gentle cleansing / drying; if long-tight-foreskin-related, consider circumcision; if overuse-related, moderate its use and be gentle. Clinically, gingerly applying cream for dry skin could be tried. If still in doubt, see urologist or dermatologist timely. At times, coping is the only means...

Most likely fungus: Sounds like a fungal infection to me.  Try applying a good athlete's foot cream.  If you've got a sexual partner, she may have a yeast infection, which could be the source.  She should get treated, too.  By the way, I'm from Stockton.  Graduated from Lincoln High in 1960.
