Question
i'm 19 years old, i have been noticing these small cuts on my penis after sex and its painful but only after sex, the skin is kinda scabbing. is this serious?or some kind of STD?
Answer
Formation of scabs or tearing (cutting) of the skin on the penis after sex is not normal. In order to best evaluate this please see a health care provider for a careful history and exam. Some things really do need to be seen and discussed in order to form an accurate impression and diagnosis.
