I'm a bit concerned after having sex for the first time this past Friday night. I've noticed some pain in my penis because the skin seems to have peeled. The front part has gotten pretty red too. The pain's a bit better than a couple of days ago, but it's still there. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

To alleviate the discomfort, apply a topical antibiotic cream, keep the area clean, and avoid further irritation if the pain persists, or you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or swelling, consult a urologist for further guidance.
