Title: Glans Peeling
Post by: RetractedinCornwall on 2016-03-18 19:45:59
Hi

Really interested to hear your stories of your glans peeling, what it looked like, when did it happen..? Also, do you get a pinker glans post-peeling?

I only ever had the most minor of peeling, you couldn't really tell it was happening unless you looked very closely. It didn't really correspond to any color change though.

Thanks, I think I may have had this, too, as my glans is always dry. It was just like a powdery residue on my glans

I have a hunch (and it's only a hunch) that the major peeling happens in guys who start off with very smooth, very sensitive knobs. Mine was never quite that smooth or shiny (my foreskin retracted on its own when erect for most of my life, kinda like you with your frenulum tear) so maybe that's why it didn't peel.

I too only ever had very minor peeling. I could retract my foreskin from a young age (don't remember not being able to). Started leaving it back sometimes in my early teens and retracting most of the time from my 20s.

Yes.  Newborn babies often get this peeling all over their skin for the same reason, very soft sensitive skin that isn't used to dry air and friction.

The peeling I got when I first started long time retracting was very minor too, just enough for me to notice it.

Mine just started  peeling  a few days ago. Im not sure  what to do with  this.  Moisturizer  leave it alone or pull my foreskin  forward.  Pic is attached

It's completely normal and often happens to most of us when staring to keep the glans exposed as it adapts to the new condition

It was skin that started to peel off kind of like a mild case of chapped lips. It happened about 1-2 weeks after staying retracted 24/7. It does not look any pinker in my case.
