I had a fall and ended up hurting the tip of my penis, and now it feels like there might be a cut on the inside. Just wondering what I should do about it. Should I be worried about infection or anything?

I'm really concerned because it seems like the skin on my penis is growing and closing over the top. There are also a few cuts, and the skin doesnt move down like it used to, which is making things really uncomfortable. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight and cannot be fully retracted over the head of the penis. This can lead to cuts and difficulty retracting the foreskin. I recommend using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the tight area twice a day for several weeks. If the condition does not improve or if you experience worsening symptoms, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been wondering and I'm a bit worried because when I was around 16, I used to masturbate a lot and applied pressure on my penis against the bed. Now, my outer skin has kind of opened up, and the inner skin is exposed. I'm concerned if this could cause any issues in the future. Could you give me some advice on whether this might be a problem?

Sounds like you may have experienced some trauma to the skin of your penis. If the inner skin is now exposed to the environment, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with any discomfort. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus-like discharge, please seek medical attention promptly. It's also important to avoid any further trauma to the area to allow it to heal properly.
