Can Small Cuts To The Penis After Intercourse Be Due To Friction?
I'm a 22 year old male about 165 lbs. I've recently had unprotected sex with my girlfriend although i'm not sure of her sexual history. On the top of my penis under the head I have a small patch that looks like a rash and when I pull it to look closer I see small cuts like paper cuts on it. A friend told me it may be from friction but I think I need to get tested. Can anyone help?

Hi,
It may be a candidal infection called candidal balanoposthitis. Poor hygiene,poor immunity and unprotected sex may be responsible. I would recommend antifungal tablets like Ketan. Apply clotrimazole cream. Small cuts and erosions may follow the infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
