Sometimes when me and my partner have sex I get small splits on the skin of my penis.  I am not circumcised.  It usually heal in a day or so. This time it didn't heal it got infected because we had sex and split it back open.  It is swollen.  Is there something that I can do for the swelling and the infection. Do you know what type of medicine my doctor would recommend.  Is there anything that I can do now at home?

Gentle cleansing, soap and water, applying bacitracin or neosporin, leaving the area alone and avoiding friction, sexual or otherwise, until the penis is fully healed.

Take care.
