Unable to pull foreskin back

[rainierk]

Hi. I'm 14 and my foreskin barely pulls back. I can pull it further back when soft but when erect it doesn't go that far. Was wondering if this is normal or not. I'm a little afraid to tell my mum, it'll be akward as hell. Thanks

I had a similar problem. Your foreskin should be loose enough that you can pull it back soft or erect. Mine would pull back soft but when I was hard it was impossible. I ended up getting circumcised at age 18. 10 days ago actually lol I’d recommend going to see your doctor and tell them about your situation and see what they’re willing to do. Hope this helps! If you have any questions don’t be afraid to message me

Hii help me from that situation...

Do you feel pain when trying to pill back or is it just hard? If you can pill back when flaccid with ease you might not need a circumcision. You can try stretching your skin in warm baths slowly and never to the extent where it causes pain. It might not work and you might need a circumcision but it's too soon to tell.

It doesn't hurt no

GET CIRCUMCISED EARLY , I GOT CIRCUMCISED AT 16 AND I HAVE BEEN FEELING SO MUCH PAIN ... IF YOU DO IT YOUNGER THE BETTER

Forget you ever heard the word circumcision. At 14, you are quite normal. Between when you hit puberty and about 18, your foreskin opening grows and permits greater range of retraction. At your present age, there is nothing to worry about. You can do some simple exercises daily which will help the opening to grow. While it's soft, try to get two fingers into the opening and pull it apart gently. If two won't fit, grasp the lips of the foreskin on either side and gently pull apart. In either case, hold for about five minutes and do that four times per day, spaced evenly throughout the day. In a few days of doing that, you should notice the skin beginning to relax. This is a good sign. Continue each day and don't miss your appointments to do the exercises. In addition, practice retraction each time you pee. This will also help the opening to grow. If you have any questions, ask away.

Thanks for the tips. Will definitely try this. If it doesn't seem to stretch any more after doing this for a couple months, should I see a doctor or just keep doing it??

[jimfromcalif in reply to rainierk]

If there is no skin infection, it will work. Skin is programmed like that. It’s how fat people get big bellies.

Be very careful if you gonna stretch your foreskin, because if it gets cracked your foreskin will become even tighter. I had it too but got circumcised and I'm glad I did it. And don't listen to those anti-circumcision people who try to scare you off.

If I do get circumsized, does it just look like my penis has the skin back permanently??

[timmyboy20 in reply to rainierk]

Yes, that's how it looks. I find it looks much better with the head always uncovered. I am very happy I got circumcised.

Providing it not causing you pain and you can clean the area why not wait until you are a bit older ? Personally I would look on circumcision as a last resort. But, if it is painful do not be afraid to discus it and see a Doctor.
