Foreskin Problem

[Battyman1109]

I have a tight foreskin although I have been able to pull it down once or twice. Is this something I should worry about because generally it is tight and doesn't get pulled down naturally or easily. I have always masturbated with my foreskin up only.

A normally functioning foreskin is fully retractable whether you're hard or soft. If you have difficulty retracting, it can cause a number of health issues. I'd suggest seeing your GP about your issue.

Should I try doing with lube ?

Up to you. I'd see a doctor.

Hi Man, you don't say how old you are. I presume it has always been like this. first of all it is important to be able to wash underneath your foreskin there would be a build up of smegma you could try stretching it maybe in a warm bath or shower and see if it improves but really you should probably consult with your doctor and get things checked out they would advise you best and may prescribe some steroid creams for a short period which would help.

I am 19. Should I try a lube ?

[MrMac99 in reply to Battyman1109]

Hi, yes definitely use some lubrication sometimes I use E45 lotion to moisturize my skin i find it good. Have you made any progress or been to your doctor?

I read all the replies today. Busy with my exams. Also too ashamed to talk to my parents about this.

[MrMac99 in reply to Battyman1109]

Ok man first off don't be ashamed in any way there's nothing wrong with speaking with your parents or especially your dad if you feel more comfortable. they would be annoyed with you if you didn't ask them when you need there advice. you could just say to your dad that you want to ask his advice about something and go from there.

It sounds as though it is fairly tight so you probably should go to your doctor as well they may give you short course of steroids cream this will really help in stretching the skin and go from there.

Thanks. It worked with the lube. I guess if I keep using the lube it will go down naturally after some time ?

[MrMac99 in reply to Battyman1109]

Hey, that's good it worked for you keep trying to stretch and see how it goes if it doesn't get easier then visit your doctor. just a word of caution be careful you don't leave it down for too long your foreskin may swell up and cause paraphimosis and get stuck behind your glans.

See your doc. NHS advice is generally to try the non-surgical options before considering a circumcision.

It seldom leads to problems. If you avoid the use of soap and thus don't cause a bacterial imbalance, you should be ok. Try stretching that opening four times per day to enlarge the opening.

Doesn't sound like a "problem" to me. ENJOY!
