Skin on tip is peeling, no pain or lesions, what could've caused this?
I'm a 27 year old male, never had a reaction like this. The skin on the tip is peeling off, and my doctor doesn't know what it could be.. It's peeling in circular-outward pattern from urethra and slowly gaining more ground. The skin underneath seems fine, though the peeling skin has a white-ish color, and there is a small red dot on the underside.
Any opinions on what could be causing this? I recently put hydrogen peroxide in the area, could I have burned the skin?

I'm guessing that your peeling skin is caused by your applying hydrogen peroxide that you mention. It didn't necessarily burn your skin but is causing it to peel as a kind of reaction. See if it clears up within a few days.

Thanks.
I saw a couple doctors, all confirmed it was likely the hydrogen peroxide. Thanks again!
