Question : How to cure cracks on the foreskin of penis after having sex and what causes it?

Answered by Dr. Muhammad Ishfaq Habib (7 hours later)

Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX

Crack on the foreskin of penis after sexual activity is usually caused by fungal infections or friction due to release of reduced lubricants from the genital organs. The fungal infection is often foul smelling. You can use hydrocortisone cream on the foreskin which enhances the skin reformation and healing.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

Thanks
