Weird scalely skin on penis

I'm not too worried about it but I don't have time to go to the hospital since I am on a work trip so I figured I'd ask on here. About maybe 3 weeks ago. My penis was very itchy, like I was scratching quite a bit down there and it was on the sides of me penis. The next day my skin was very dry and like a silver almost scale like skin came over the parts I was was itching at. They didn't hurt at all, wasn't oozing anything they were just itching silver scales.and I'm thinking it was just super dry skin down there, but I've never experienced anything like that before. It mostly went away in the next few days but it left my skin like a purpleish color. I thought I was okay so I had sex with a girl a few days ago and it was quite rough and the parts that were purple got scaly again after words. I was probabaly just sore. But do any of these sound like herpes symptoms of anything know what is going on? Or do I just have some dry skin that will go away in a few.

Sounds like you're on the right track with the dry skin. I get this as well

Do you? Cause I never have? Very peely and I have some purpleish skin. Idk like I said it doesn't hurt or anything just rough dry flaky skin. Kinda freaked me out when I first saw it
I never peel but I do get the silvery dry skin. It isn't herpes but if you're concerned then see your Dr or a dermatologist.
Any comment on why my skin might be a purple color?
