Ive had these small cuts and friction rubbed away area on my penis head for some time but ive just recently started lookin for some info but cant find any, These cuts arnt deep enough to bleed or anything but they sometimes hurt when rubed or touched. Ive tried going like 2 weeks without masterbateing and used antibiotic creams but it barely did much, i noticed some healing but not much and i could not hold off. Dose anyone know how to get rid of these cuts?

Yeah, I've had those cuts before. It's to do with dryness of the penis. Your penis head is cracking, much like lips do in the wintertime. I'd try to avoid masturbating for a few days, and, twice a day, try rubbing the head of your penis with some sort of moisturizing lotion, like Vaseline Intensive Care or Nivea. Heck, even rubbing lip balm on it should help.

well i do have some dryness, but this is like actual cut areas, the skin is normal but its just like rubbed away and i have some cuts on them like i think its from masterbateing with no lube for a long time, i didnt use lube for several years and these cut i would say have been there for a year.

Still, follow my suggestion. Even if not all of it is dry, moist skin heals quicker and better than dry. From masturbating with no lube, you've rubbed the heck out of your penis head, and you need to rebuild the skin. Moisturize and always, ALWAYS lube when you masturbate.

ok ill do that, how long would you say i should give it to heal? Also, any good suggestions on a lube?
