Genital ulcer?: Genital yeast infections are uncommon in men. An open sore of the penis (a "cut"?) is not likely due to yeast. The most common cause by far is genital herpes. Syphilis also is a possible cause. See a doctor for proper diagnosis -- the sooner the better for accurate diagnosis, and for effective treatment if it's herpes. Don't have sex until the "cut" has been diagnosed and has healed.
