Upon cleaning the area it seems to be a cut or possibly tear of the skin in the area between the head of the penis and the shaft. I’m not bleeding anymore although blood is present and is pretty red the area. Do you have any additional advice, In conjunction with your advice should I seek an exam from my Dr., as embarrassing as it will be?
Thank you for your help Dr.
