Hello,
The cuts on foreskin of penis in diabetes are due to the fungal or bacterial infection which get aggravated in the presence of uncontrolled diabetes.
Treatment involves local application of bacterial and anti fungal ointment along with oral antibiotics.
In case of repeated attacks of cuts on foreskin,it is best to get circumcision done.
Thanks
