What Causes Painful, Stinging Cuts On Skin After Pulling Back Foreskin?
Once my foreskin is pulled back where the skin rolls up I have been getting small cuts kind of like paper cuts but a little wider around the outside of my penis. These cuts are quite painful and sting quite alot. They heal after a week of no masturbation or sex. But the the skin becomes very very tight and once i try to pull back / or my foreskin comes back these cuts break through again ( like cracked lips) and the area becomes quite swelled and red for a few days. Im wondering if theirs anything i can do?

Hello,
From the given description, it definitely seems as dryness of the inside of your foreskin. This dryness could cause inflammation as well as infection.
These together results in cut and stinging sensation. Infection needs to be treated with infection medicines.
You should consult a doctor for physical investigation. Once healed you can make sure that your penis and inside of your foreskin is moist and clean throughout the day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
