Posted on Fri, 24 Feb 2017
Question: Hi, I have a question hopefully one of you can answer, it's about my private region I'm male 21 years old. From when I started masterbating I've noticed white scares around the foreskin, when me and my girlfriend have sex it sometimes rips and bleeds a little, but it's not just that when my penis gets erect it hurts to move the foreskin to and I loose my erection any advice would be grateful for that but also it's made my girlfriend think she's unattractive and disgusting but I'm reassuring her that's not the case but she thinks this is just a lie when it's not

Not to bother about the white patch over the foreskin or glans Penis. 10-20 % of the individuals will have such lesions and these will not disturb either you or your partner at any point of time.
The symptoms (fissures cracks over the margin of the foreskin, hurting during erection and intercourse) indicate that you are likely to have yeast infection. It is not difficult to cure.
Variety of antifungal preparations are available as topical and systemic use.
Your partner also has to be examined and treated.
