Have Cuts On Penis, Tight Foreskin. Taking Metformin And Statins. Due To Medicine?
I have been experiencing small cuts on my penis from time to time over the last fifteen years. My foreskin also feels like a tight rubber band when I try to pull the foreskin back over my penis. I have been on statins and metformin and when I reduce the dosage or stop taking them, it seems to clear up. Is this a problem with the meds or is something else causing this. I clean my penis several times a day and use peroxide and neosporin from time to time when the condition gets worse. I am five foot ten inches and weight 230 pounds. My sugar is also hard to control with an A1C of 8.1 YYYY@YYYY

Hi ys! Do foreskin give you foul smell some time then it is fungal infection. Apply fluconazole cream on it if inflammation and swelling take pain killer like ibuprofen or diclofenac. If problem persist consult the doctor. Take care. Bye.
