I've been dealing with this ongoing issue where the foreskin on my penis gets really tender and then cracks. This seems to happen quite oftenit heals and then just cracks again. I'm getting a bit worried about it. What could be causing this, and how can I prevent it from continuing?

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.

Can I make my penis longer and thicker with surgery and how much would it cost if it's possible
Yes, penile enlargement surgery is a possibility to increase both length and girth, but it's important to understand that it's often considered a cosmetic procedure and not a medical necessity. The cost can vary greatly, depending on the specific procedure, the surgeon's experience, and location, but it can range from tens of thousands of Rupees to hundreds of thousands of Rupees.
