What are the potential causes of persistent dry, white, and flaky skin with mild irritation on the penile shaft after completing a course of norfloxacin for urinary symptoms?
It is quite common to experience dry, flaky skin or mild irritation after taking antibiotics like norfloxacin. Antibiotics can sometimes disrupt the natural balance of your body's microflora, which can lead to a mild, easily treatable fungal or yeast infection. Another possibility is simple post-inflammatory dryness or irritation. I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, avoiding harsh soaps, and speaking with a healthcare provider. They can easily examine the area and suggest a mild moisturizing or antifungal cream to help you heal quickly.
