Brief Answer: It is due to Phimosis Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have cracks in foreskin with itching and unable to retract foreskin making you not to have sex for last 6 months. Many a times this is presenting symptom of Diabetes. Please get your blood sugar levels tests on empty stomach and 2 hours after lunch done to rule out diabetes. If turns out to be positive you will need to consult qualified Diabetalogist for proper control of blood sugar levels. In the mean while start taking antibiotics like Cefexine along with anti fungal medication Fluconozole twice daily with topical anti fungal jelly like Fluconozole for local application . Once the infection subsides and your diabetes is well controlled you have to get circumcised . .This is simple surgery done under local anaesthesia as a out patient procedure and gives promising results so that you will have no problem in retracting foreskin and will have enjoyable sexual life for forever. Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.
