What Should Be Done For Skin Cuts On The Foreskin?

I have been getting small paper cuts on my foreskin for a couple months now and it’s really painful I’m 18 and too embarrassed to go docs. It ends up drying drying up my skin around it. I haven putting different creams on that people have used online like sud cream and moisturiser but they don’t work what should I do?

Hi,

First, keep the cut always clean. Apply antiseptic creams (Neosporin or Salvon) 2-3 times a day. Keeping the skin moist is important to heal the cut properly. You can apply petroleum jelly for this purpose.

The cut should heal within 3-4 days. If the cut on the skin has redness and swelling it is most likely infected and you should contact your doctor for the proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
