If a mycobacterial infection is found on the glans, it can lead to glans desquamation, which often manifests as erythema of the glans mucosa, flaky edema, thin flaking edges, and papules and small pustules that gradually form a glans desquamation eruption. In addition, recurrent episodes of Candida glabrata can also cause dry cracking of the foreskin, fibrosis and sclerotic changes in the glans peeling off the skin.
