more discussion on flaky skin while locked up

Greetings everyone The last time I kept my cb 6000 locked for a while - up to 10 days (not long, but we all start somewhere!) - the skin on my penis peeled badly for several days after. Now it’s been 11 days and still going, so I’m washing daily and moisturizing, but should I try exfoliating? That is, rubbing gently with something slightly abrasive to remove dead skin cells, or could that aggravate the issue? I figure the dryness happens because the penis can’t shed its dead skin as usual; when the cage comes off later, the skin dries out and has to get rid of all that built-up stuff at once. The reason I’m worried is that I don’t want my KH to reject me due to an ugly appearance. She isn’t totally sold on the chastity idea yet, and I don’t want to give her a reason to stop locking me up. Does anyone have any ideas? Last night she sent me off to bed early with a promise of something special. I was thrilled but anxious that she might unlock me and quit the game. After some time cuddling - it seems she’s grown fond of all the extra hugs, strokes, and kisses I’ve been giving her while locked up - she told me to go do a couple chores we’d missed earlier. When I returned, the bedroom light was off. I climbed into bed with her, and half-asleep she murmured that I’d have to spend another night frustrated. We kept cuddling, and I helped her reach a strong orgasm using my fingers before she rolled over and drifted off. I’m still quite frustrated - which is actually a positive outcome in its own way. Thanks everyone BL
