What is the cause of penile skin cracks and what to do

Cracks in the skin of the penis may be caused by excessive cleaning, balanitis, or diabetes.

Over-washing mainly involves using soap to wash the penis excessively, which will reduce the oil in the skin and even cause cracks. Avoid washing too frequently.

Balanitis may be inflammation of the glans caused by too long foreskin. You need to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations and treat it through circumcision surgery under the guidance of a doctor.

Diabetes is a metabolic disease that needs to be managed through oral insulin or insulin injection and daily diet control under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above common reasons, you also need to take good care of the penis area, avoid sitting for long periods of time, and do not wear tight clothes.
