Full history of the issue:

I've had an issue with my foreskin for about 5 months now, it's way to tight. Cannot pull over the penis head at all, erect or not. However I already know I have to go to the doctors about this issue I'm just incredibly shy. My main issue started yesterday when I awoke it felt like my foreskin had swollen, I looked online and figured I would give it a few days however this morning it's gotten much worse.

The foreskin has ballooned it's also desensitized as if it was numbed partially. I've also noticed a hard capsule shaped object in the middle of the shaft, when erected this becomes a fairly long line, guessing a swollen vein.

I've also had mild flu like symptoms. But I was babysitting my niece the other day who had a bad cold so that's probably not relevant.

Medication:

Currently on Xenical for weight lose.

if you are not able to pull the skin back you are not
able to clean properly.
you could have an infection.
You should see your doctor.
Have you researched stretching exercises to increase the
opening of the skin.
