What does recurring tears and dry skin on foreskin indicate?
Patient: hello. the foreskin of my penis gets dry and there are some tears there that seem difficult to heal, i have tried not to "annoy" the area with sex for 2-3 days and seemed to heal (just the dry and some red remained) but the tears came back with just a very little "action". what should i do and what can i apply on the area in order to moisten it but not harm it? (i heard something about clean aloe cream). Thank you!! Doctor: Hello,It may be due to dry skin. For that you can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally. In case of itching take tablet loratidine. Avoid sweating. Avoid hot and humid environment. Maintain proper hygiene.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shyam B.
