White Dry Patches and Scabbing

I have multiple skin concerns that have been persisting for about 2 years. I'm a 28 black male. First concern is about the tissue breakdown and peeling of skin on the penis head. The penis head keeps scabbing and peeling without any sexual interactions. Sometimes there is slight soreness and redness of the skin after peeling. There is no discharge or any open sore. Also, the shaft of the penis gets these white dry patches. It is also on my right thigh. There is no burning, itching, discharge, open sore, soreness, or redness. I don't know if it’s from an STD/STI or some type of skin disorder. I saw multiple medical professionals about this and they just say it is nothing. But I saw a dermatologist recently and she said it may be genital warts. She did a quick cryotherapy and sent me out the door. I did some more research and it doesn't really look like it. Can anyone help to identify what this is? Thank you.

    Sounds like the Dermatologist was simply looking for a reason to charge you or your medic provider a nice fee. So I am guessing you are somewhere like the States? - the certainly was NO provision of reassurance from the time you spent with the Dermatologist.

    Kim may recognise what you have in the photo - my recommendation would be to find a Dermatologist that specialises in Genital Skin Disorders - you can do an online search using the name of the area, city, district or region in which you live, then Genital Skin Disorders or Genital Skin Conditions, Dermatologist .....
