I'm dealing with this painful crack in the skin on top of my penis, especially when I pull the skin down. It's kind of worrying me, and I'm not sure which ointment would be best to use. What should I go for?

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.

I'm really concerned about my urine test results. It shows pus cells at 24 hpf, epithelial cells at 35 hpf, and ketones are present, but everything else seems normal. What does this mean exactly? Should I be worried about these numbers?

since ketones are present kindly check your sugar levels
