What Causes Cut On The Vein Towards The Penis Head?
Hello I m 20 and not circumcised I noticed a cut on the vein running on the bottom of my penis near the head. It looked like it was healing but then had sexual activity and not it looks to be all the way cut through..

Hi dear,
If there is no bleeding or discharge from the cut, we need not worry now. Just keep the area clean and dry and apply mupirocin ointment twice daily for 5 days- it should disappear by then. Also take acetaminophen for pain if needed.
Go to doctor if it is not healing in 5 days, or any bleeding or discharge develops.
Hope I have answered your query
