What Is The Remedy For Painful Cracks On The Penis?

Hello, my boyfriend found small cracks on his penis head a few months ago. We ignored them. They are getting much worse and very painful especially after intercourse. We have used a special lotion which helped to heal the cuts but right after sex it would only get worse and worse. He is worried he may have caught something, although I know he has not. We have no idea what this could be. Now the pain is so bad he can hardly handle any touch to it.

Hi,

I have gone through your query.
Cracks on penis is usually suggestive of fungal infection(Picture of the lesion is necessary for actual diagnosis). These can be painful and spread if ignored. He was using ointment for healing cuts. These ointments contain antibacterial, so there is no response.
I advise him to use ointment containing antifungal like clotrimazole, maintain proper hygiene of the area and keep the cracks dry. Ibuprofen can be taken to reduce pain.
