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.

I'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?

I've been doing some research online and I think I might have balanitis. My foreskin is swollen and it's causing inflammation at the tip of the glans. Can you please help me figure out what I should do to treat this?
Balanitis can be treated with topical creams, such as clotrimazole or hydrocortisone, and practicing good hygiene, including gentle cleaning with warm water and avoiding harsh soaps; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor for further evaluation and guidance.
