It is possible that what you are noticing could be from rough sex.  It is also possible that you have an infection, balanitis that is commonly associated with the presence of a foreskin.

 

Good hygienic practice including pulling back the foreskin routinely and cleaning under the head of the penis is important. It is also important to make sure that you keep the area as dry as possible.
