Suggest Treatment For Meatus Skin Peeling
When will(?) my Meatus heal?I'm a teenager (and a male, obviously), and I woke one morning and noticed that my meatus (pee slit) was slightly tore, meaning it extended down a bit just to where the front starts to curve down.I went to the doctor and they said that it should be fine, and it should heal in a few weeks. I have been applying antibiotic ointment to it from time to time. It seems like it is healing, but I don't know? Is it?
Or will I need stitches or something?
It has started closing up it seems, but I have doubts, it very well might not be. Please help, is there anyone that has had this experience? And whenever I urinate it seems to open back up unless I control the flow.
Will this heal, I am very worried I will have to go into surgery or get stitches, and I'm not sure I will be able to (it's complicated).
Please help.... And no, I haven't had S** before

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. You should understand, wounds heal. Not the splits. Splits are their to stay in order to assist you in urination and sexual intercourse. You saw the split widen and you went to a doctor and they gave you antibiotics to help heal. The wound had already healed and you are seeing the split which will be there and cannot be closed, need not be closed. You do not have any pain, burning or itching. That itself clears the doubt. Please work with your doctor and do not carry any unnecessary doubt within you because it may lead to obsession and further to anxiety.
If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.
Hope this answers your query. Please feel free to post follow up queries. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
