Sprays that contain a numbing agent such as benzocaine, lidocaine or prilocaine are sometimes used to treat premature ejaculation. They're applied to the penis 10 to 15 minutes before sex to reduce sensation and help delay ejaculation.

Question

I'm really worried about some issues I've been having recently. About a month and a half ago, I noticed my penis was itching and there was redness, a rash, and accumulated smegma. I'm uncircumcised and after searching online, I thought it might be balanitis. I've been applying coconut oil daily on my foreskin for over a month now, and while the rash, redness, and itchiness have gone, I've still got some cracks and cuts on the tip of my foreskin. I wash it daily, but for the past two weeks, there's been dry skin forming around the foreskin every day, even though I clean it regularly. On top of that, I recently had a really hard stool and now my anus is itchy and swollen. I used coconut oil for the itch, which helped, but the swelling is still there. I'm not sure what's going on with my penis and anus. Should I be washing off this dry skin that forms daily? Also, which type of doctor should I consult for these issues? Are there any home remedies you can suggest to help with these cuts and cracks? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any advice.
