Every once in a while i will get real tiny cuts on my foreskin and it makes it a pain to pull back and clean. I thought maybe it was a lack of lube during sex but even when i don't have sex it happenss and then i will have tiny red bumps on the head of my penis and a ugly smell . Usually in two to three days it goes away for a while. I did go to my familly practice doctor and he said i would probaly have to get circumsized if it continues.

 Hello,You have what is called a balanoposthitis which causes inflamation of the outer skin as well as the head of penis.Commonest causes include monilial infections,and baterial infections.These could relate to hygiene of the area.Also sometimes use of powerful antiseptics used for clensing could result in balanitis.Persons with a tight prepuce as in uncircumsized might find difficulty in cleaning that would result in infection.Diabetics have a higher incidence of balanoposthitis and you need to get tested to rule out this.Recurrent infections may need circumcision.Most would get controlled with antibiotics and antifungal cremes.Best wishes.

Hello,Once the balanitis sets in there is difficulty in retraction and becomes difficult to clean the innersides.Also less common but one other cause is BXO ie balanitis xerotica obliterans which occur in uncircumsized males and appear as whitish plaques and lead to skin tightening.Do get examined to rule this out too.This is unlikely in your case because it is recurrent in your case.Bestwishes.
