Ive been dealing with a chronic issue of tender and cracked foreskin on my penis. It seems to heal and then crack again regularly. Could you suggest what might be causing this and how I can treat it effectively?

You may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks to treat any possible fungal infection. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can help prevent further cracking. If the symptoms persist, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.
