Small Tears On My Penis Wont Heal
So here's how it started. My girlfriend and I or 2 years are very sexual people. A couple months ago, we were starting to have sex but she wasn't fully "ready" yet (not wet enough). We were so into it tho that we tried anyway, and after enough time we got going pretty good. Once we were finished I noticed that around the base of the head of my penis and around the shaft there were tiny horinzontal tears, a few of which were slightly bleeding. So, right off the bat i know my problem is from that. However, since then everytime my girlfriend and I have sex they re-open in the same spots. We've waited as much as 3 weeks for the healing process, but it seems no matter how long we wait, they just reopen. They dont necessarily hurt all that much, but they tend to sting right after. I've tried a number of differnt remedies from Neosporin, to Vitamin E gel, to Bandaid cut stuff to hydoperoxide (which tends to be my test to see if they are still open (fizzing and stinging and that means they are still open). Ive even resorted to blistex. Nothing seems to fix this. any suggestions out there. We now ALWAYS use some sort of Lube (KY gel or Wet) but it doesnt seem to help. this is really killing our sex life and i can tell she is getting very frustrated with the whole thing as am i. Frankly im afraid to have sex even when they LOOK healed. like i said before we are VERY sexual people and im afraid this is going to hurt our relationship ALOT. Thanks in advance.
So i've managed to solve this issue (for me), so I hope I can help someone else:
o There are a number of causes from reading this thread, but GP's tend to be pretty useless with such a niche injury, and since most of these creams/ointments are over the counter.. im sure ur happy to try some.
o Probably like most men, ive had numerous cuts/abrasions over the years, generally self-inflicted, they heal on their own.. what made this one different I suspect was that I had caught Thrush from my wife (we didnt realised she had it for months, sex was very rough), so the cuts had a kind of white top on them.. and they just kept appearing and tearing, 1 big one and lots of small ones.
o Nothing got better until that thrush was gone.. I ended up using some anti-fungal cream for a while, I thought I was in the clear once the white had gone, but nope.. still kept re-tearing due to probably how long it had been in that state, re-tearing over and over.... scar tissue etc
o Obviously abstinence would be wonderful for healing.. but look I couldnt do it, I could last 3 or 4 days before I couldnt take it... I was ready to explode, I experimented with how to do it without re-injuring the cut.. not much really worked initially, but I found using lube like Vasoline were bad due to the friction, no-lube also bad, I found a silicon-based lube called durex-play which is as little friction as possible, and while not ideal, it was a god-send to reduce the damage from sex or masturbation, as little damage as possible..
o So I ended up alternating between moisturisers such as Lansinoh (breastfeeding aid), I imported some Gold Bond Ultimate Heaing Moisturiser which the whole family including wife now uses and loves, its awsome stuff at a cheap price... and I also threw in something my GP suggested to thin the skin.,. which I had at home anyway, a steroid+antifungal like Canesten Plus, alternating them every hour or 2.. if I had sex/masterbation which I did my best to go as long as possible between, I made sure to clean and re-moisturise immediately, and blow as quickly as you can lol to reduce damage.. I found for a few weeks, it was 2 steps forward, 1 step back.. but I was winning the battle.
o A few more weeks on now and I feel like ive won, I can even have normal sex without lube and it seems ok, after sex the scar looks more pronounced, perhaps due to the blood flow or something, but its not tearing.. the scar seems to have kind of faded, but I suspect it was so bad itll always be visible now.. since it re-tore so many times.. but I think its ok, and I make a point to moisturise the penis every day or so.
Anyway im pretty happy to be out the other side, its a very serious issue as im sure people are finding, because it virtually means you cant have sex or masturbate which can be hard in a number of ways, especially if it was early in a relationship. I was thinking that worst case I might ask the GP for something to reduce libido to help it heal, but from my brief reading, such a thing doesnt exist.. apart from ill-wanted side-effects from some medication.. best of luck boys!

i read elsewhere that you can get an operation where instead of a full circumcision they just cut your banjo string as this problem is caused by having a short banjo, so they cut it and stitch and problem solved, apparently it takes about ten minutes
I have solution for it I have the same problem after sleeping my and she was very dry I find out I have a cut on my penis my suggested me to use hot water and salt to clean it which I did evry monrnig and nigth and it close after 4days but when I have sex with her it reopen again that is when I start using VICKS VAPORUB to rub it I alway rub it evry 20mins for 1week and it works like a magic after that it never open again i hope it will work for you good luck whatsapp me 0631910957
quick i got same problem doctors prescribed some ******** cream all the time , things got worse, i use this mexican cream Vitacilina cream , everyday use 4 to 5 times a day keep penis head away from urine , more than anithing clean the head all the time . and believe me you will see the results, nothing else to say
I'm 18 years old and i have the same problem was my fault I was being inpatient and went a little to fast and I felt a sharp pain it hurt really bad so I stopped and checked. I was like "wtf holy ****" waited a couple of seconds then was like "hmm umm **** it?" So we continue the intense entercourse made it less painfully and it actually felt a bit good at times, once we got into it really good. Best advice for everyone who has had a tare and it won't heal just say "**** it" and continue to do it if the pain is not to bad of course just be carefull not do over do it when you begin make sure you guys are really into it once you start having intense sex. Best moves are Missionary, doggy, cowgirl only once really comfortable cause it will hurt if she's not wet or turned on a lot. Hope this helps everyone. We're very sexual so we really can't even wait a day or two wait out doing it at least 3 times a day 4 maybe even sometimes. Follow your instincts whither you try it or not is totally up to you. If you wanna wait then wait. But if you wanna get use to doing when it hurts then get use to it and it won't hurt as much.
If not herpes as for me look into yeast infection meds . Men get them to . I had small cuts and blisters , not red puss filled but like shiny blisters like the skin was to thin. They split open during sex and reopened every time I got hard. I went to the dr after 2 weeks and It was in fact a yeast infection.
i have experienced this for about a year, in my case i used nizoral and lamisil ointment alternately for about 2 weeks. twice a day. then after 30 minutes i put aquaphor healing ointment to lubricate it. use cotton boxer brief. then you must cure internally also eat only meat, eggs and vegetables, avoid alcohol and sweets and grains for 3 months...
Check to see if this is a condition called "Balanitis". It's when increased sugar is expelled from the body through urination and is common in men who have diabetes.
I had this issue off and on for a few years. The first time I had it for about a year before I figured out it was just a yeast infection and I used 3 different over the counter creams before I got rid of it. Think it was Lotrimin. The last time I had this it was for about 6 months and no cream was doing it, it would tear with even the lightest masturbation or sex. It didn't matter if I didn't touch it for a month, I would still get tears with even the lightest of touch. I was getting pretty damn depressed about it. I finally decided to try Man 1 Man Oil because of the claims it makes about basically rebuilding the skin with all the vitamins and minerals. I figured my skin was just never healing properly. This stuff is amazing, I have used it for about a month and a half and now I am free of this annoying condition. I went about 2 weeks without sexual activity and after those 2 weeks I never had another tear. I suggest you maybe wait longer than that though just to be safe. I definitely don't recommend any steroid creams just based on all the different forums I've been on and the fact that those creams only weaken your skin. If you have used that cream I recommend you use Man 1 Oil to get it back to perfect health and build the skin back up. I know this is a old thread but I was hoping someone that has this problem would read this and not have to suffer anymore. Best of luck to you gents.

Thank you for that!
Hi. I will try out. Im really desperate with my condition which almost identical to you. Every time i had sex with my wife. Always get irrate or cut on the same area.
I had the exact same issues, for 7 months now. Then I read this thread and once I was armed with the knowledge that it was called "fissures" I searched and found this:
http://www.interestingarticles.com/mens-health-issues/dealing-with-penis-cuts--where-they-come-from-and-how-to-heal-9705.html
Basically, it claims that it is a yeast infection. So I went to the store and got some nonprescription medication for a yeast infection (Lotrimin Ultra). I've used it for 2 weeks now and I'm completely healed. The fissure is not only gone, the skin is as strong as the rest of the skin again! From reading this feed I'm confident that most of you on here had the same thing I did. Its not hard to fix. Wash with soap thoroughly, twice a day. Dry, then when the skin is fully dry apply the Lotrimin Ultra. When you masturbate use lotion, then immediately wash with soap afterwards, dry, and reapply. Give it two weeks and let us all know ;-).

Try 1 part Unrefined Virgin coconut oil and 2 parts Zinc Oxide powder. Mix into a paste and apply on affected area for 3 times a day for 7 days. Wound will heal fast.
Caution: don't force penetration during sex when it's dry. After any tear, men usually become conscious and more fearful of penetration and can ruin your sex life if not careful. Always stay lubricated and take precaution.
Good luck guys!

I have read every comment but nothing seems to be working. It would be appreciated if someone could send a reply to my thread: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Mens-Health/Small-tears-on-the-head-of-penis-skin-wont-heal/show/2812123#post_13574725
Hi,
I have also experienced the same issue. I have been tested, and NO, this
issue commonly listed is not a STD. If you are burning during urination or bleeding, then you need to be worried. However, I recommend the Desitin Rapid relief cream that contains zinc oxide which relives the itching pain and restores the skin fresh and new OR Clotrimazole anti-fungal cream.

Hypericum 30 c
Homeopathic will heal most tears
Take 1 2x a day till you see and feel a difference.
Natural no side effects and will only heal that.
I give you this information because I went through the same thing.

I had the same thing for 3 months. I tried using over the counter Clotrimazone cream which helped a little, but slowly, and the skin was still very sensative. Finally saw my doctor - it's a yeast infection for sure. He prescribed a cream with Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate and I was completely healed in 5 days.
Seriously, everyone on here that is having a problem with tears needs to get checked for diabetes. I had the same problem for over 2 years. I got checked for diabetes and now that my sugar count is down, I haven't had a tear in over a year. I only take pills for my diabetes. Everyone reacts differently, but just to experiment, if you don't want to get checked for diabetes then cut out all sugar products, including sodas. No cream or medication will help or heal it. Stop wasting your time with those products. Get checked ASAP for diabetes that is the real culprit to all this.
I want to thank you. I have had those cuts on and off for a long time. I tried the Clotrimazole and it freaking worked. Thanks so so so much.
I used what is called a **** ring with my gf and after I noticed a bruise ring under the head of my **** I thought it would go away but it didnt instead all the skin there got very streachy what should I do
