Question
A couple of weeks after I first started having sex, I started getting very sore when I pull the foreskin back on my penis. I also started getting dry skin around the top. It has been like this for about a week. What should i do?
Answer
You should definitely see a physician to make sure there isn't some infection. If there is no infection, then a mild steroid cream may help.
