How Can Bruises On The Tip And Shaft Of The Penis Be Healed?

Hello. My boyfriend has few bruises on the tip and shaft of his penis. He is not circumcised. I think that might be part of the reason, in addition to us not making it heal. It keeps tearing when we have sex. What home remedies can I use to help soothe his discomfort. The tip of the foreskin is swollen. Is it ok to use cocoa butter vaseline on it?

Hello,

It could be due to local inflammation.

As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

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