That's either bad or lichen sclerus (aka balanitis xerotica obliterans or BXO). I wouldn't normally recommend that people see a doctor about balanitis, but in your case, I think you should.
You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google 'GUM clinic near me' for details. If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. If you don't see a doctor, it may well just fix itself, but I'd get it checked out if I were you. Are you diabetic or taking any btw? Thanks for the quick reply!
Oct 7, 2015 - My penis foreskin is cracked an swollen. I can't even have sex with my wife. This is not STD because I am a one woman man, and happily. For the past few years, the foreskin of my penis has become dry and small cuts. A:Persistent cracks on foreskin depict chronic changes in that part of the skin.
The swelling went down the next day and the dry skin is only really like that first thing in the morning - as soon as i've been in the shower everything looks a lot better, though the two cuts are still there and I'm guessing they're healing as the day goes on until I interrupt the process with a toilet break. I used Nivea moisturiser cream on it and that made a huge difference to the pain when retracting. No to diabetes and not had antibiotics for a long time but I did bite my tongue last month (badly. Ouch!) which ended up swollen with a white thrush-like coating all over.
Guess I should've seen the doc after that. I'll try Canesten and see if there's any change over the next few days but if it gets worse then I will make an appointment with the GP.
Hi, Hopefully someone can help me here, i'll give as much detail as I can. I am having a problem with my penis in that I am getting small splits or cracks on there and a dry patch of skin. I have been to the doctor and they have prescribed me some canesten for thrush and when I do the treatment things do seem better, however I am also not really doing much other than going to the toilet during this time so i'm not sure if the rest is healing it or the cream. However when I stop using the cream about a week later it does get itchy and can get a little red.

I have masterbated during the use of canesten and it does seem a little better but does still feel a little raw after. The dry skin however does seem to go while using the canesten.not sure if thats the canesten or the moisturiser in the cream doing that. The dry skin would be on the tip of my foreskin and it would be the tight area if I try and pull the foreskin back. I can do this while flaccid but can't get it all the way back while fully erect.
This all seemed to kick off properly around Christmas last year, but prior to that I would notice things would feel very raw if I had not masterbated for several days.however the persistent cracking is relatively new. I would have happily masterbated regularly prior to this.
I initially went to the doctor a few years ago because it felt very raw after sex and that was when they initially prescribed thrush. So I have a couple of questions: Is this thrush? If it is can I keep using the Canesten regularly to keep things under control?
