A member asked:
I am circumcised and since chapstick helps chapped lips why not a dry penis head?

Harsh chemicals: There are some additives to chapstick or lip balms in general that may not be tolerated by the glans penis.

Normal: A dry glans is normal in a circumcised male. Chapstick won't help. If your glans is chapped or red, that's a different issue that needs medical attention.
