Question : Can you help?
My foreskin has been sore for two weeks. I initially used sudocream but now I have been using canesten cream for the last week. It's not painful during the day or night but only when I have to pull it back, it stings. Also my left eyelid has the same condition. I live relatively healthy and consume around 2-3 litres of water a day
