Your entire outer layer of skin is keratinized.

You can get a yeast infection which makes the skin itch, crack and sometimes bleed, it also can become tighter and not retract easily.

Is it possible for something weird to happen to your dick/balls/butthole and you ask the medical opinions of people on styleforum before consulting a doctor?

absolutely.
had a patient with an SCC of his penis.
came in with lower limb oedema resembling heart failure at first glance, turned out to be an SCC of the glans that had been going on for a few weeks. turned out it'd metastasised to his abdo lymph glands and beyond. not nice.
