I’ve researched about balantis and it says its not common at all in circumcised men so im not sure. Any ideas?

The glans keratinises after circumcision. This may explain your problem

The post-circumcision glans is supposed to be dry. Without a foreskin there is no need for constant lubrication - which is what makes an uncircumcised glans so moist. The glands that provide this lubrication moisture are removed with the foreskin.

Try applying cocoa butter daily to reduce the dryness, but it is a normal occurrence.
