I've got a small cut on my foreskin that bled when it first happened and was painful. It doesn't bleed anymore, but sometimes I still feel pain, and it hasn't healed yet. What's going on, and should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may have a small cut on your foreskin that is taking some time to heal. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Polysporin on the cut twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and try to avoid any activities that may irritate the cut further. If the cut does not show signs of improvement or if the pain persists, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Question

I'm a 21-year-old virgin guy, and I've noticed that the foreskin on my penis is attached to the head by some kind of tissue. It's making it hard for my foreskin to retract completely. What can I do to fix this issue?

Question

I'm wondering if I might be dealing with premature ejaculation because I tend to ejaculate within 3 to 4 minutes when I masturbate. Is this something to be concerned about, and what can I do to manage it better? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I'm experiencing a tingling sensation in my penile nerves, but I haven't had any trauma, and my blood reports came back negative. Could this be due to frequent or hardcore masturbation? I also feel a burning sensation at the tip of my penis after peeing, but it happens only if I watched porn before. Is there a way this could heal naturally? I'm really depressed about this situation. I've been prescribed tricyclic antidepressants by my doctor for 3 months, but its been 4 months now, and I only took them for 2 months. Can these meds help with my issue, or do you have any other suggestions? I'm looking for advice on what steps to take next.
