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.

same problem thought it might be stds witch worried me because i've only been with two people and im sure they didnt have any
but reading this and thinking about it .... i blame dry fuzzyness
when the penis tears it is erect when it heals it is soft and there is no longer any extra skin to support an erection. i guess in all seriousness keeping an erection and applying a cream or such could soften the new skin
or...... viagra + creams+ a comfy chair and no sex.. give your willy a chance
but never give up

I had the same problem and I used betadine to clean the area of the head part of my penis and after that I let it dry. When it's clean and dry I use ANTIBIOTIC OINTMENT (with NEOMYCIN, POLYMYXIN B and BACITRACIN ZINC) this happened last Sunday 3rd of August and I started using the ointment 6th of August 2011, and now after 4 days I'm completely healed, I can see the skin on the head of my penis is fully recovered and I'm continuously putting some ointment to make it soft and additional cure as well. hope this would help

Clotrimazole is a life saver!! I bought my boo some lotrimin which has the ingredient and after 5 days he is back!!! Don't go any longer with those damn cuts guys that **** works! Last night was our 1st time in a long time and he wore my *** out!! Seriously get yourselves a tube and see. He was willing to try anything but didn't think it was going to work, after day 2 he noticed a difference. So I'm telling you guys that **** really worked. Good luck to you all:o)

I don't know if this is true or not and I am not saying this for someone to try something that will hurt them, but my friend who's a nurse told me to tell my boyfriend to use any one of the monistat 1,3 or 7 until the head heals.

Okay. I was reading this blog and I have been there and done that so to speak and understand what you are going through. At about the age of 13 I got the same thing constantly up until the age of 22. I think it was cost my **** was growing to be honest and rough masturbation or sex. The cut would heal and then re-open and it would be under below the head of my ****. I would put vaseline on it and it would heal and remove the sting.

I have also had the other gentlemens issue where the head of the penis starts to bleed, or even a bruised penis. In this case I found with the bleeding head that this was caused by too much rough sex and in this case with lubrication. For example if you were to get yourself off now in the shower and was extremely rough this would occur.

What I ended up doing is masturbating with no lube and put my **** through a bit of torture.before too long my **** has never had any problems since. I could have the roughest sex now for a long time and may feel a little bruised but thats about it. I know how frustrating and painful that it is to go through.
