Hey,
So I've been having a problem recently where I get a really sharp pain when I try to move my foreskin back (even just a little). This has been going on for about 1 - 2 weeks now and starting yesterday I decided that I'd just moisturize the area in the hope that something would free up.
I got really scared because I had some kind of surgery when I was really young in order to help me pull it back (a cut took place - not sure what though - I'm not circumcised). I was worried that whatever the surgery cut may have grown back.
On another attempt today, I saw a few little slits in the skin. The pain is so intense that I can't pin point the exact area. But it makes sense to assume that the pain originates from those slits. I can see red (maybe blood or just raw-er skin - but it doesn't actively bleed), but I could only manage to look a second (if that) as it hurts to expose it.
This sounds like such a simple thing "oh its just a cut, it'll heal". But this has major implications, such as improper cleaning. Since I've been unable to for a week or so now, its worrying me. Should I keep up the moisturizer or is this more damaging - and, can anyone suggest anything to help it?
Thanks
