question: Hi, I sustained a small cut on the shaft of my penis a month or two ago. For a while it would heal and then open up again after intercourse or masturbation; however, I stopped having sex and masturbating for a few days and it closed up, but will not go away. I went to a dermatologist for an unrelated issue and showed it to him and he told me that it may been a small bacterial infection, but was nothing to worry about. He instructed me to put aquaphor on it, which I have been doing, and while it does get better some days, it will not go away. Any idea on what this could be and how I can treat it?
