Patient's question:
Over the past few days, I've noticed peeling on my glans penis and the foreskin that tightly covers it. The peeling is thin, and a light pull reveals mild fishy odor at the frenulum area of the glans, but there is no peeling at the circumferential position of the glans. I take daily baths and there are no symptoms of itching. What could be the reason? Hello, what is the cause of the peeling on the foreskin?Doctor's answer:
Hello, penis scaling may be caused by inflammation or fungal infection. Occasional recurrence is due to several days of poor hygiene or excessive internal heat. Sometimes, if soap or cleanser is not rinsed off properly during penis washing, it can lead to peeling and even redness. If you have long-term scaling and white discharge, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, as this may be a secondary symptom of a urinary tract infection. You should actively identify the condition and receive treatment in a formal specialized hospital.
