I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really concerned. During intercourse, I noticed that the foreskin on my penis gets cut at the lower inner joint. It bleeds quite a lot when it happens, although it does stop eventually. This has been worrying me since it first happened about 34 days ago. The cut is still open and in the process of healing. I'm also diabetic, which I know might make things a bit more complicated. Is this something serious? Should I be considering seeing a doctor about this?

It's important to get the cut checked by a doctor, especially with diabetes, as healing can be slower, and there's a risk of infection. If it's not healing properly or if you experience pain, swelling, or redness, please consult a healthcare professional for proper care.
