Toplap gel is safe to use on unbroken skin, including the genitalia. However it may not fix your underlying problem. I would recommend a cream with a small amount of steroid. Apply twice daily for 3 weeks to the inside and outside of foreskin. This should assist the skin to stretch and reduce the cracking and hopefully produce a lasting improvement.

Vasectomy question?

Generally speaking, the risk of a vasectomy failing is approximately 1/1000. If you have a negative sperm test shortly after a vasectomy, the long-term risk of failure is reduced to approximately 1/2000. If a vasectomy fails, then I would expect you to have a positive sperm count, whenever you did the test. The vas deferens will either be patent or not. I don’t believe it would be intermittently patent.
