Topical steroid creams and gentle stretching may help phimosis and frenulum breve; surgery like preputioplasty is minor and effective if needed.

I've got some small cracks and cuts on my foreskin near the tip. Most of the time it doesn't hurt, but when I pull the skin back fully, those cuts start stinging for a day or so before settling down. The cuts seem to stay but the pain comes and goes. Should I be using some cream or is this something that might need surgery?

dermat opinion is advised.
