I have that problem every now and then, my wife just has me use some of her Olay Quench body lotion and it seems to soften up the dryness

Do you use lubricants or masturbate often?  Masturbating too often or using oil based lubricants may cause dryness.  Try water-based lubricants.  

Other than that ... change soap recently? Could be that. It's not an STD or anything.  Use some lotion (preferably pure aloe vera) on it and it should be OK.  BE SURE to verify it is alright to use on genitalia first!
