Over moisturizing, is it even possible? My penis has never been so dry ever.

My penis is terribly, terribly dry. I have been using a very moisturizing lotion called Vanicream and I will smother and cover my penis is this cream, especially the dry spots like the glans and under-shaft. t is so bad that my penis is actually very dry to the touch and I am actually shedding skin on my penis because of it. Now, I know that soap will cause dryness but I know that it isn’t soap because i don’t little contact with soap and my penis in the shower and I wash it all off quickly. This is frustrating, because I am using very good moisturizing lotion and it seem to make my penis even dryer. This is no fun for me, even my flaccid length is much, much worse. Any advice on what to do would be a godsend.

Try some kind of oil instead. I use almond oil and it stopped all of that, but now I’m followed around

by squirrels.

I don’t have any sort of oils at my house right now, is there some sort of other quick fix? Is the lotion really the cause of the problem? What type of oil should I eventually get?

Really now, what types of oils can I pick up that will give me the same effect? What types of oils are gonna be best for moisturizing? My glans is god awful right now, you can see the skin peel at the very ridge of my glans and the top of my glans is a very rough, dry skin like sandpaper.

Does it itch like crazy?

No, no itching.

Well then it most likely isn’t a yeast infection. You do realize that if you put too much goop on your cock your skin can’t breathe and starts to flake off. Especially if you leave oil based products on over an extended period of time.

I don’t have any suggestions other than getting some vitamin E gel caps and popping one of them open and massaging in the oil. That might make the peeling worse though, I don’t know.

I was putting a lot of goop on my cock so thats why it is flaking, I bet. The stuff I use is called Vanicream, because it contains no fragrance, masking fragrance, lanolin, dyes, formaldehyde or parabens and its a dermatologic formula for sensitive skin so I thought it would be perfect for me. I guess I was using too much, I need to only put enough on so that I can’t actually see the lotion layered on top of my penis.

I just did a quick search on Vanicream and noticed that the main ingredient is white petrolatum. Weather you rub a tiny amount on or a handful it doesn’t matter because it has zero penetration into your skin, it just lays on top comparable to wrapping your skin with a piece of plastic wrap. The way petrolatum/Vaseline works is that it traps in the moisture that your body produces, so if there is an ‘underlying’ problem on a particular area of your skin then petrolatum as you already know is useless.

I would first start of with a deep clean using an exfoiliator. An inexpensive, effective, and widely available exfoliating cream is Noxzema triple wash. Then get a pure oil that is readily absorbed by the skin like Olive, Sweet Almond, Grapeseed, etc. Hope this helps.

NOTE: don’t use an exfoiliator more than once every other day or you will deplete your skin of natural oils and potentially develop acne and or painful boils.

Try a little mineral oil, a little goes along way and it has vitamin “E.”

Is your skin dry anywhere else on your body?
Are you drinking enough fluids? Say 8-10 8oz glasses of water. Beer and coffee don’t count they dehydrate.

Get lubriderm or vaseline intensive care/healing lotion. I also use vitamin e skin cream. It has some oils, but it’s main ingredient is water.

I had a similar problem, it seems as though mine was not as bad, when I first stated using my Vacextender. I just stopped PEing for a couple of days to properly moisturize my penis with a nice body lotion. Barheyphipe made a couple good recommendations. Jergens, Baby Lotion, or any other type of lotion I think will be fine. I used Cetaphil. To prevent this from reoccurring I always lotion my penis in the morning and at night. After I rub the lotion in I put on powder so I can do my PE routine and have a nice grip. I hope this helps.

You can get paraffin oil rub it on your penis and leave.Make sure it’s clean.

Also, formaldehyde can be toxic, allergenic(maybe your case), and carcinogenic(don`t worry about this one).Formaldehyde is classified as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and as having sufficient evidence that formaldehyde causes nasopharyngeal cancer (still not related to your penis but you get the idea it’s bad)in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

I was experiencing extremely dry skin on my penis and then it started to flake. This was a mixture of pumping at too high a pressure (10) and also using paraffin based creams/oils and leaving them on my penis after my workout. Like Springer 240 above, I was putting on lots of moisturising lotion but it appears as Thunder SS has pointed out that this caused the flakiness and I’ve stopped slapping on lots of lotion after my workouts. I used Emu Oil after the start of the flaking and I must say that it worked a treat as it was very easily absorbed with very little irritation. One of the amazing properties of Emu Oil is that it is very easily absorbed by the Epidermis and Dermis and also it has great anti-inflammatory properties. I think that it works a treat and now use it all the time.
