Suggest Remedy For Tight, Dry And Cracking Foreskin After Being Treated For Yeast Infection With Monistat

My foreskin is very tight dry, and just started to crack very slightly. I was treating a yeast infection with monistat. The infection began to clear, but now for a week my foreskin has been this way. It s painful to pull back due to tightness. I would like to know what the fastest acting remedy is.

Let me answer your question,Foreskin becoming dry getting cracky,could be most likely due to fungal infection for which you are taking anti fungals,Fungal infections particularly foreskin will take 1-2 weeks to heal and friction during intercourse during these days will prolong the healing,Abstinance till it heals is better and it also protects transmission fungal infection to partner. After a week if not healing better to show a family physician if there is any other infection like Bacterial chlymudia etc. Dont be in hurry.
