What Causes Sore Raised Lines On Head Of Penis?
Hi, The head of penis has raised lines (almost like it is cracked) that are somewhat sore when touched. Is this some sort of scarring or result of masturbation. One time no lubrication was used and the head bleed slighty and there was some scabbing. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
Thanks for qury .
You have developed infection of Glans Penis (Ballanitis ) due to dry ,rough handling of penis during masturbation.
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily.
