Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. However, it may just be dry skin. You may try using an emollient like Vaseline. If that does not relieve the symptoms it would be prudent to see your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
