A member asked:
Is it normal to experience dry skin on the glans of the penis either from friction or use of soaps? what are some suggestions to remedy the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduce irritation: Sounds like your body is trying to tell you something. Avoid friction and minimize use of soap. This is a sensitive area, and it's not a particularly dirty area either, so it doesn't need much washing. Avoid irritating the area and it will likely get better.
