View allI'm a bit worried because I noticed some cuts on the inner skin of my penis after having intercourse last week. It's really dry and itchy now. Could you let me know what's going on and what I can do about it?
Apply a topical antibiotic ointment and a moisturizer to soothe the dryness and itching; take an over-the-counter antihistamine or hydrocortisone cream for itching; practice good hygiene, avoid scratching, and wear loose clothing
