red rash on penis

For a few weeks now I've had a red rash on my penis head and sometimes even on the shaft...in some cases the skin on my penis began to shed its skin. This occurs when the skin on my penis seems to be really dry. Although it doesn't occur all the time it has a tendency to become itchy at times as well. I have tretonin cream because I have had a yeast infection before and it works after a while but then the rash and the peeling continue...what is this?
