See urologist: Peeling skin is not associated with the conditions you have mentioned. Consult an urologist .

Not an STD: Welcome to HealthTap. Thanks for your question. None of these STDs (nor any other) cause "peeling skin". Even if one of your STD tests had been positive, it would not explain this symptom. Any number of non-STD skin conditions could be possible. See a clinic or doctor for professional evaluation. Stay relaxed in the meantime; probably it isn't serious.

Local tingling can be precursers to the appearance of HPV in the area. Get seen and be treated if positive.
