Circumcision recovery. Peeling Glans

Today its 3 weeks after my circumcision due to phimosis. Even though it was a hard journey i can assure you all that things will get better. As for my recovery., everything seems to been healiing well. Only thing, Even though i have been through the keratinazation process during the first week, i noticed that now when i get rock hard erection the skin of my glans is peeling again and when i let it go back to its flaccid state the peeling reduces and eventually vanishes( in about 12 hours or after i shower ). Any idea whether this is natural or not, what might be the cause and the treatment for it? Thank you!

Just got circumcised myself and looked this up the other day. It seems that your body is adjusting to being dry. Since it is no longer moist all the time it will peel a little. This should go away. At least that is what I read.

But my body has already been through the peeling process once during the first week and now it seems to happen only when i get fully erect as if the glans expansion is causing the skin to peel and tear

Its the process you are going through right now where your glans is getting used to the environment resulting in peeling. I think
