I've noticed a small cut on the foreskin of my penis after recently receiving oral sex, and it's been really uncomfortable. It stings, and sometimes the pain comes and goes. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will heal on its own? What should I do to help it heal or relieve the pain?
