  5. My foreskin has been dry and cracked for the last few days, and it hurts when I try to pull it back. A few days ago, I noticed red spots on the head of my penis and it was itchy. I used Dettol and warm water to clean it, but the relief was only temporary. What should I do to treat this properly?
