What Causes Sore, Thin Cuts On Foreskin?

Hi, i , 29 years of age and have been out of a relationship since February this year. I have not had sex during this time. The past few weeks I have noticed thin small paper cuts on the foreskin of my penis, close to the head of my penis. It is quite sore and wondering if you would advise I check in with my GP or go to the pharmacy and purchase some Topical cream. Any suggestions? Thanks Doc.

Hi,
It seems that due to not cleaning smegma collecting under fore skin might lead to crack and some infection on glans penis.
Clean the glans by averting foreskin and remove collection of smegma.
Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Make a habit of cleaning smegma daily while taking shower.
Ok and take care.
