Im 15 and my foreskin wont retract, and because of that i cant clean under the foreskin and the smegma sometimes gets stuck and causes pain.

how can I solve this problem without going to seek any professional help?

I got the same problem with my foreskin but got it solved when I was 17. Why don't you wanna seek professional help?

Me and my dad don't talk about these things with each other and he's the only parent I got. Am I able to go by myself? Or do I have to have a parent/guardian with me?

I don't think you can go alone to your doctor but you can tell your dad you have a medical problem and you wanna go to the doctor. That's what I did. My dad asked me what kind of problem and I answered it was very personal. He said OK and didn't ask further. I think he already presumed what was wrong. He just went with me to the doctor but didn't come in with me. He just waited outside. After the doc had examined me he called my father in and told him what was wrong. To cut a long story short, he sent me to an urologist and a few weeks later I got circumcised. I am very glad I did it. Everything is so much better now. Don't keep running around with it!

Hi mate, don’t worry about it too much, it’s very common. For the last 10 years I was unable to retract mine either and the only way I could keep it clean and smell free was to clean it in the bath. I would pinch the tip of my foreskin closed and then slowly pee so it would inflate a little, when I let go and the urine come shooting out, anything under my foreskin would come out too. Sounds gross but it always worked for me, maybe give it a try and good luck.

Just run warm water inside and practice stretching unless you are considering getting circumcised. If so talk to your parents. I know growing up uncircumcised I know people always looked at my penis with curiosity in the locker room. My personal statistics is maybe 1 in 20 had skin. As a 90's kid in the state I live in the doctors might of not asked parents permission to perform the operation on babies. It was just how it was like giving babies their first shot and feeding them, it was part of the care babies were given in hospitals.
