Small Tears On My Penis Wont Heal

So here's how it started. My girlfriend and I or 2 years are very sexual people. A couple months ago, we were starting to have sex but she wasn't fully "ready" yet (not wet enough). We were so into it tho that we tried anyway, and after enough time we got going pretty good. Once we were finished I noticed that around the base of the head of my penis and around the shaft there were tiny horinzontal tears, a few of which were slightly bleeding. So, right off the bat i know my problem is from that. However, since then everytime my girlfriend and I have sex they re-open in the same spots. We've waited as much as 3 weeks for the healing process, but it seems no matter how long we wait, they just reopen. They dont necessarily hurt all that much, but they tend to sting right after. I've tried a number of differnt remedies from Neosporin, to Vitamin E gel, to Bandaid cut stuff to hydoperoxide (which tends to be my test to see if they are still open (fizzing and stinging and that means they are still open). Ive even resorted to blistex. Nothing seems to fix this. any suggestions out there. We now ALWAYS use some sort of Lube (KY gel or Wet) but it doesnt seem to help. this is really killing our sex life and i can tell she is getting very frustrated with the whole thing as am i. Frankly im afraid to have sex even when they LOOK healed. like i said before we are VERY sexual people and im afraid this is going to hurt our relationship ALOT. Thanks in advance.

  i got this cut 2 weeks ago.. i heard u gotta force it when new so i pushed and had pain... next thing i realize is that i have a cut..
  it seemed to heal but next week when we tried again, i could definitely feel the cut open wide.. it ***** and now i can see the problem is serious.
  not one person has a solution and i'm going to the doctor next week.

last nite i had sex with my girlfriend, she was really wet and we had unprotected sex, shes on the pill, we like it rough, really rough, and i happnd 2 look @ my penis and noticed it was blood, i thought @ 1st that it was from her but upon further investigation i realized it was from me, im uncircumsized and tha head is very tender, i noticed i hav a cut on tha inside part of my foreskin. Should i be worried or will it heal over time? should i go see a dr? or should i juss go get circumsized? would that make the problem go away?
