Penis head is chafed and won't really heal
So, the head of my penis at the front and sides, but not the back, has very small vertical lines/tears. The back is relatively smooth. I've tried to stop sexual activity for periods of time to allow it to heal, but I haven't seen any progress. Should I wait longer? I usually try 2 weeks, but it's hard not to be sexually active with a girlfriend. I also get some residue under the head and a bit in the small vertical tears on the head each morning even though I wash my penis gently and thoroughly each day. Is there something that can help repair the tip of my penis? Like a moisturizer or over the counter treatment? What about Vaseline? I would really love and appreciate any kind of advice or help
Have you ever considered something like Gold Bond powder? Works pretty well for chafing if that is what it is. Might be worth a try.
Have you seen a doctor? You may have a fungal or bacterial infection, and might need prescription treatment.
If you've tried home treatment for a long time, and it's not working, it's time to see the doctor.

Oh and stop having sex with anyone. You could be making it worse, and if it's fungal, it might be contagious.
