What Causes Cut On Penis To Reopen After Circumcision?
Hi, I m at 21 year old circumcised male who developed a small cut on the underside, base of penis a while back. It has been troubling me ever since, when I have sex or masturbate or stretch the skin in any way the cut seems to split and reopen again, often resulting in a little bit of blood. After a couple of days or even weeks of no sexual activity I go to have sex again, only for the same wound to reopen in the same place straight away. I ve looked on-line and found people are having this problem but I don t know what to do, will it be like this forever? Please help

Hi,
You might need to see a Surgeon who can offer you solutions to repair the skin weakness over the area.
But, in most cases it is advisable to leave it at rest for a few weeks for it to heal completely so that the cut does not recur.
But, see your Surgeon and he could offer a repair option so you can be functional earlier.
Take care,
