What Causes Cracks On The Penis Foreskin?

Hi I have a problem with my foreskin. Over a period of 5 days it has developed small weaping cracks in the end of the skin where it folds. I do not believe it is a sti. I used soap that actually had small particles of rust on the surface, I m concerned it may have something to do with that.

Hi,

If you had unprotected sex - need to rule out sexually transmitted infection. If not it can be due to dryness due to soap or dry masturbation or forceful sex. Also, check for blood sugar. Local application of antifungal with steroid can help you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
