A member asked:

The skin around my penis feels dry and tight sometimes, and whenever i have sex i get cuts on my foreskin... is there anything i can use to prevent.

Tight foreskin: If you have difficulty retracting your foreskin or if there's often an itchy rash there, you should consult a urologist for evaluation,diagnosis and treatment. Early phimosis and/or lichen sclerosus would be concerns.

My foreskin is fairly tight when my penis is erect, the tip and part of the head can exit out of the foreskin however I am unable to get it past the head fully. Is this natural or do I need to see a doctor? I can retract it fully when flaccid?
