Small tear on penis?!
Question: I am not sexualy active. I am circumsized. There is a small cut on the left side on the edge of the head of my penis. It looks like a skin tear and is very very small. It is red and it looks like skin is missing basically. I've notice dit about three weeks ago and I haven't masturbated and it doesn't seem to be getting better. What should I do? What do you think this is? It doesn't hurt or anyhting either. It's just there

Typically I'd say to leave it a week or two (or less if it gets worse) but if it's still there, I would get it checked out; hopefully you have a physical exam soon so you can discuss this with your doctor.
If you masturbate or have sex, make sure you go gentle, or use a lubricant as to not irritate it anymore.
Infected?
Scar?
I don't know. Get it checked, with MERSA and stuff going around, you never know.
