What Is The Cause Of Having Cracked Skin On Outer Part Of Foreskin?
Hi
I have 2 - 3 points of cracked skin on the outer part of my foreskin near the tip which tend to open from time to time. I am a 57 year old male heterosexual and always practice safe sex with condoms. Could you please give me some guidance on what this could be?
