I get red spots and torn skin on my penis after intercourse. What medicine or ointment should I use to treat this?

Red spots and skin tearing after intercourse can be caused by friction, lack of lubrication, yeast infections, or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). To help the skin heal, keep the area clean and dry, temporarily avoid sexual activity, and avoid harsh, scented soaps. While over-the-counter barrier ointments or mild antifungal creams may help, it is highly recommended to consult a doctor or urologist before applying any medication. They can accurately diagnose the underlying cause and prescribe the correct treatment, such as a specific prescription steroid or antimicrobial ointment, to prevent further irritation or infection.
