Tight foreskin

Hi

Since November I’ve had an issue where my foreskin was tight and anytime I had sex it would split and bleed.

I haven’t had sex in 4 weeks and have been using a mild steroid cream which has helped

My foreskin is still very tight

I’ve attached a photo of my penis and as you can see the foreskin is quite red

It’s not as tight anymore but still uncomfortable

Any advice?

ouch do not waste your time on a forum to search advise, you have tried steroid cream, you have bleeding and a foreskin which fibrosis at its end ...

You really have to see a urologist.

And in addition you are diabetic? therefore a vascularization which is less good.

If you have tried creams and have been dealing with this for a while, I would think the next logical solution is a circumcision especially if you are a diabetic. I would make an appt with a urologist.

I was circumcised for the same reason, my foreskin was too tight and my skin would split. I tried the steroids cream and few other things but to no avail. Best solution is to be circumcised, I'm almost fully recovered. Go see a urologist and get their opinion brother.

Hi Man, have you been to see your doctor it may be a fungal infection and steroid creams would not be the best course of treatment for that. Unfortunately if you have scarring now to your foreskin you may continue to have problems with it being tight. The best thing now would be to get advice from your doctor.

Sounds like a yeast infection caused by your diabetes. Clotrimazole is quite effective in treating it. Steroids will aggravate the yeast problem, so using it will not help.

I am also diabetic suffering from same problem since beginning of November 2019. I have seen 4 different doctors (not Urologist), finished 4 packets of Antibiotic, applied 4 different types of cream - result - No Improvement!!

Finally my - GP the Great - recommended me to Urologist - which then took another 4 months to get a date - and then the 'The Great Chinese Virus' - Appointment gets cancelled. I am back in the queue.

Not sure when will our 'The Great NHS' will be back to normal.. so I have full sympathy with you if yours is still not resolved.

You have thrush. I can see the white spots all over your entire penis. Get some canaestin cream & it should have you cleared up in a week. Also you can get the dual pack which includes a tablet to take orally & that quickens the process.

Hi diabectic44 did you get him sorted

I'm suffering with this, mo cream has worked at all, I cant get a stiffy without feeling like my willy is on fire due to my skin breaking. Should I seek circumcision?

in reply toSJMK10

You certainly need to see a doctor about this.

Hi there,

I find that if I use lubrication it is ok. Almond oil or olive oil is good. I can pull the skin back but it makes the head sensitive but a condom reduces this. I can last much longer too if I pull my foreskin back before sex.

Did you get this sorted in the end? I've had this for a few days now prior to this my tip was red and blotchy and itchy but now skin is just sore and tight.

I'm not diabetic as far as I know how ever I have other health conditions.

Not what you're looking for?
