dry, cracked skin on top of the base of my penis?

At the base of my penis shaft, I have dry skin that has cracked and is red. I applied aloe Vera because I don't have Neosporin, and it seems to close, but if I get erected or pull at the skin in anyway it opens back up. I do shave the shaft and balls, but never had this problem before. I have no other noticeable symptoms, but this is discomforting and I am curious if this is something I cam self treat or do I need to see a doctor? Again it is just on the top at the base and no where else.

I have had the same problem in the past none of those things worked. The only thing that would work for me is eucerian lotion you can get it at pharmacys and wal mart workd wonders good luck...and dont feel dirty i went to a doctor and he said its normal for males good luch. also try running a humidifire in your house to get rid of dry air and only take warm showers not hot
