How To Stop Small Cracks And Cuts From Coming Back On Foreskin?
How do I stop the small cracks/cuts coming back on my inner foreskin? There doesn t seem to be a pattern as to when it occours it terms of having sex or masturbating or neither. I first discovered red and soreness when I was relatively young. The cuts actually leave a white scab kind of thing behind when they heal which isn t very pleasant. Do you have any advice on how I can overcome this problem?

In short: CLEANLINESS CAN PREVENT IT WITH LUBRICATION
Explanation: Scab/white flakes over glans are due to dried semen/smegma, so in order to prevent allergic reaction and inflammation over there, keep your glans clean by washing it with water every day during bath.
Dryness can also cause this, so keep the area moist and well lubricated(Note: please use safe lubricants which are tested)
