If you have scars on foreskin or it hurts when you have sex, you probably have either of these 3 things, phimosis, paraphimosis or yeast infection.
3 reasons due to which you have scars on foreskin
1. Due to phimosis
Phimosis: A congenital narrowing of the opening of the foreskin so that it cannot be retracted.
Phimosis and paraphimosis are mostly the reasons why you have scars on the foreskin.
Scars on the foreskin occur in people with phimosis because of the presence of thick foreskin. The foreskin can be thinned by using steroid creme such as betamethasone.

3. Due to yeast infection
If your skin tears too easily when trying to stretch foreskin this is the telltale sign of a yeast infection. Scars on the foreskin are essentially tears. It may not necessarily be yeast infection but it most probably is. Yeast infection makes the skin thin so that it tears.
