Hey, I'm kind of worried because the skin on the head of my penis is peeling and it's getting red. I'm not sure what to do about it. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, it'd be really helpful.

You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the head of the penis. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area after gently cleaning it with warm water. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting underwear can help with the healing process. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with red spots on my penis again after having them a year ago and getting treated. Now, every time I masturbate, they come back. Plus, if I keep the area dry, it just gets super dry and shiny. I usually masturbate about three times a week. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
