What’s going on with the foreskin peeling off after applying iodophor?

In general, for the peeling of the foreskin after the application of iodophor, it may be caused by the irritation of iodophor. The foreskin is a double-layered free circular fold formed by the skin in front of the neck of the male penis, which is relatively sensitive and fragile.

When the symptoms mentioned above appear, you should go to a regular hospital in time for medical consultation, so that the professional doctor can clarify the cause of the disease and treat it as soon as possible.
