Dear Danny. Do not panic, but go to your GP and/or an uro/andrologist to have advice. Often the foreskin becomes softer with age and the problem disappears, BUT you should be visited to see if you can wait or you need some therapy (creams, or surgery). Your penis needs some more care. Give it the care it needs! It's an important part of your body.

Hi, At 13 this should not be anything to worry about. You will see lots of very similar questions on here. First thing is not to force anything, whilst in the bath or shower try gentle stretching. Creams are available which may help, you will have to search for name's I'm afraid.

If you are really concerned you should see a Doctor but at your age I do not think they will do much. I am Married with three children and age 50 before I could pull back without some pain so nothing to be too concerned about at this stage.

Good Luck

Hi Danny, as the others have said, its best not to panic and force anything as it may cause more issues, the best thing for you to do is go to see your GP. I had the same issue at your age and I was told to take warm baths and try to slowly pull the foreskin back which did help for a while then I stopped trying. The doctor may also give you some cream which helps with stretching the skin and may reduce pain. With my experience After i stoped pulling it back, the pain got worse so in the end I was circumcised at the age of 19 and I'm now 20 with no other issues.

I would definitely advise speaking to your parents/guardian to take you to the doctors about this but at your age they may not do anything too drastic other than tell you to try during a warm bath or give you some cream.

I hope this helps, good luck mate.

Daniel.

You may need a circumcision. I've just gone through the same and would recommend it. It's a painless surgery and makes your little buddy feel better

Honestly mate the difference is night and day

Hi Danny. I would start by pulling my foreskin back whilst in the bath or shower. It may take several weeks to be able to get it behind the head of your penis. If this fails then see your doctor. Good luck mate.

Don't need it pulled back yet. When u do in a couple years don't be a pussy and just stretch that skin to the max
