Question
The last time i had sex was 2 years back, now the skin of my penis glans just started to get itched, dried and peel off over the night. Consulted doc and applied cream on it, no itchiness & peeing. Once my cream finish, the itchiness gone, but the peeling skin continues, please advise
Answer

The peeling is most likely NOT related to sexually transmitted illness, and is more likely a fungal rash or irritation called Balanitis. The dry peeling skin may indicate continued fungus in the area. If the peeling continues, go back and see the doctor.
