Common "Foreskin Cracks" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Foreskin Cracks

The foreskin appears to be cracked if the skin becomes very dry, and it is mostly not a severe medical condition. Some of the causes that can make your foreskin dry are harsh soaps, allergy, dry masturbation or sex, wearing tight-fitting undergarments, yeast infection, eczema, and psoriasis. Try drinking a lot of water, maintain good hygiene, and apply moisturizing penis cream.
