Suggest Treatment For Pain On Foreskin After Sex
Question: Last week after my husband and me had sex, he has been having pain in his foreskin ever since. It has been a week but pain has not reduced. It pains when he tries to push his skin back. Also, around his skin, little skin has cracked. What should he do?
Brief Answer:
Lubricants and moisturizers will be helpful with some rest
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your query, i will try to give you suggestion which will be helpful to you.
It sounds like you have some irritation of your foreskin causing the small cracks. These type of cracks can be quite painful. Basically, they're like small paper cuts that are reopened everytime you pull your foreskin back and cause the skin to tighten up.
I would suggest you, its nothing to panic, use cotton underwear, using a moisturizer may help. As it is cracked if try to push the skin crack can reopen so, avoid doing so for two days or so. I think he might have tried to push it regularly, that might be the reason it has not healed for week. I advice you to follow the measures mentioned he should be fine.
It may also have been caused by insufficient lubrication during sex. Try using more lube and giving your penis more time to heal.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. I here you to help you in case of any further queries.
Wish you speedy recovery. Take care.
