Dry Penis/Foreskin (with cuts/tears)

Posted , 4 users are following.

The last few days, I’ve had dry foreskin. This past weekend I have engaged in a lot of sexual activity with my girlfriend. Now, it seems that I have a couple of cuts/tears on my penis making it hurt a little bit. It wasn’t itchy before, but now it’s starting to get a bit itchy, especially when the foreskin shrinks/wrinkles up. I’ve been tested for STDs plenty of times this year, so I think that is out of the question. What could this be?

    I also have no discharge, and no pain during urination. I just finished taking a shower and when I let water hit the cut/tear, it stung pretty bad at first, but after waiting a few minutes it didn’t sting anymore when I let more water hit the cut.

    Hmm idk if theres some kind of penis dryness but i know there's vagina dryness. I would go to a dermatologist to get ir looked at. But if theres no blisters nothing oozing out of it i wouldnt be so worried.

      There are no blisters or anything oozing out of my penis. Just a couple of cuts/tears. I’m just refraining from sexual activity in the meantime.

    It looks when I had thrush/yeast infection last year... little micro cuts and dry flaky skin. A topical OTC yeast infection treatment cleared it upossible in 5 days. Good luck!
