I am a fairly young male. I have a few cuts on my foreskin (uncurcumcised) and I am not overly worried about them; there aren't any other problems like pains and the such. I know I haven't got an STD and I haven't had sexual activity for a good while. I'd just like to know a recommended healing regime? Obviously keeping clean is ideal, but also how do I keep it from getting infected? This is terribly embarrassing but at the end of the day sometimes the most miniscule of cloth bits from my boxers get stuck to the cuts and I'm fairly sure when I wash them our I am just enflaming the cuts.

Thankyou, much appreciated.

Sounds like you should be keeping the area moist so it does not stick to your underwear.
I would try a mild moisturiser something like sorblen cream.
