Occasional splitting of the foreskin may be caused by bad living habits, foreskin opening stenosis, balanitis, etc.
1. Bad living habits
If the patient exerts too much force during sex or masturbation, it may cause local skin friction and rupture, which is generally accompanied by local pain.
2. foreskin opening stenosis
When the patient's foreskin opening is narrowed, the skin of the glans may be subject to abnormal friction during daily sex life, causing cracking.
3. Balanitis
If the patient has balanitis, under the invasion of inflammation, the blood vessels on the surface of the glans skin will swell, and at this time a crack will occur.
