I've been having this itching problem on and below my penis for about 15 days now. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm getting a bit worried. What could be causing this, and what should I do to make it stop?

I've had exfoliative cheilitis for 12 years where the entire layer of my upper and lower lips peels off, leaving them red and raw. My top lip is also covered in Fordyce spots. I've tried so many treatments tacrolimus, clobetasol, mometasone, calendula ointment, Sebamed lip balm but nothing helps. Even multivitamins didn't make a difference. When I tried leaving my lips alone without peeling, they got even more inflamed. The skin turns white when wet and peels daily. Dermatologists keep recommending creams, but none work. Are there any surgical options since topicals don't seem to do anything?

A proper clinical evaluation is needed to identify the exact issue
