First if all it can't be an STD because I have never had sex with anyone before. Anyways, a couple of weeks a go, I noticed that some of the skin on my penis head was cracked like i scratched myself some how. I ignored it for a couple of weeks and now it has gotten red and has the same feel of a scab or healing cut. It's painless and there is no discomfort what so ever. So could it just be healing skin? If more info is needed I will supply, thanks.

Okay honey, if you had not ever had sex it cannot be an STD...thank God!  Did you scrape it in your zipper? If it is scabbed over, that is good- than it is healing. The redness is probably just part of the healing. If there is drainage, or pus, or it feels hot to the touch, then you should see your doctor. Leave the scab alone and let it heal. Try cleaning it with warm soapy water and pat dry- if you have any neosporin or any kind of antibiotic ointment, apply it on the area being careful NOT to get it directly into the tip/inside. I hope this helps.

You are very welcome. I am not a doctor by any means, but a nurse and seen a lot of things. Just make sure to get it checked if it doesn't seem to be getting better. I know it is not the easiest subject to seek help for- Take care!
