Glans peeling is mainly caused by microbial infections, usually caused by Candida, Trichomonas and other infections, localized pinpoint-sized red papules covered with point-like cheese discharge, pustules, and in severe cases, erosion and oozing, which in turn leads to peeling of the glans surface.
Another condition is caused by irritation from friction, condoms (pills), detergents, etc., where the glans surface receives physical and chemical irritation, causing mechanical damage or an allergic reaction can also lead to peeling.
