I'm looking for some advice on what medication I can take to help with issues related to the erectness and hardness of my penis during intercourse. I'm really concerned about finding a solution that doesn't come with unwanted side effects. Can you suggest something that would work without causing other problems?

I'm really worried about something that's been happening the last few weeks. Whenever I get an erection, everything seems fine at first, but when the foreskin pulls back, it gets painful cracks, and I've even noticed some bleeding. The area feels really dry and uncomfortable. We've tried not having sex for a bit, hoping it would heal, which it does, but then the cracks come back again when I pull the skin back during sex. I used some lubricant and coconut oil, which help a little bit, but the problem is still there. I've been married for a year now and never had this issue before. Any advice on what might be causing this and how I can fix it?
