Slit under the foreskin of the penis

[craig james]

I have a small slit under the foreskin of my penis which can appear as a small bump through the foreskin.
I have had it for some time and although it generally doesn’t cause any problems, it can sometimes cause some mild irritation and it somewhat of a cosmetic issue. I am worried that it could pose a risk of infection as it has not closed up and there is an an open hole with a small pocket inside. Would it be best to consult my GP in this case, any advice?
