Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The bleeding is occurring mainly due to friction during sexual intercourse or masturbation. You are diabetic so even small trauma may get infected.
The only solution to this is to use a lubricant cream during sexual intercourse and masturbation.
These creams are available over the counter in pharmacies.

You can keep applying A and D cream, It Contains vitamins A and D and helps protect from the drying effects of wind and cold weather, It also temporarily protects and helps relieve dry skin and as it is a vitamin mixture it is safe to use.

Let me know if you have any other questions
Wishing you good health.
Thank you
