Hi
Three weeks ago I woke up to a patch of dry/flaky peeling skin on my penis head. It was whitish colored. I had never seen it before so I picked at it and peeled it off. It seemed to be the top layer of the skin and after coming off the area was very red, and very slightly bloody. The area remained red and usually becomes bright red after a hot shower or if lotion is applied. Otherwise upon waking up and when the penis is dry it’s not really red but almost blends into the surrounding skin but not quite, I can clearly see its not normal. The first two days, it stung when I showered or applied anything to it like a cut would. After that it doesn’t hurt, sting, burn, itch or anything like that. It’s not raised and when I stretch out the skin it kind of disappears. I looked at it under bright light and it looked like a layer of skin was missing, and sometimes if I just leave it alone it will look like a scaly layer of skin is forming on it and when dry that area almost looks wrinkly. The last time I had sex was first week of May 2013 and nothing since and that was protected.
I have attached six photos taken three weeks after first appeared. Sorry for so many pics, don’t mean to be redundant but I want to make sure I paint an adequate enough picture (also the link may have some ads above and below the picture sorry about those please ignore)

I have not applied anything to it except lotion and Vaseline. Can you please advise me on what you think this is and what I can do to speed up the healing process. I am hoping its just some irritation that will heal but after reading several posts here it could be anything. Kindly let me know what you think. Thank you.
