Hi there,
It is possible that this penis cut is due to friction .Other possible causes of cuts on penis could be related to any allergy, inflammation or infection. It could be caused by an allergic skin reaction, psoriasis, eczema or any bacterial, fungal infection. Application of mild corticosteroid cream or Neosporin cream may be helpful. If the symptoms are severe or persistent getting it seen by a dermatologist will be helpful. I will advise you to refrain from sex till you are completely cured. You can have sex in second trimester of pregnancy but you need to be cautious. It is advisable to avoid sex if there is a history of preterm labor, unexplained vaginal bleeding or any other medical problem. Do consult the gynecologist. Keep me posted.
Best wishes and regards!
