I am uncircumsized and when I roll the skin back there is a white strip of skin that wraps around the body of my penis and connects to the underside of the bottom of the head. when my penis is soft it is not so bad. but when my penis becomes hard the skin is really tight around the body of my penis to the point of being uncomfortable. it makes it hard for the foreskin to move up and down. I have had this problem for a couple years now, and have thought it would eventually get better. Just wondering if anyone else has this experience or knows what to do.

It's called Phimosis. When the foreskin (especially the top part) is too tight to allow proper retraction. I'd definitely recommend seeing a doctor, as sexual activity now, or later on in life can cause tearing which can be painful and carry a risk for infection.

Wow you guys give awful advice.

Skin stretches, just remember, when you masterbate to put pressure on your foreskin on downward thrusts, over time it will loosen up. 3 months ago my foreskin was so tight around my shaft I was like cutting off the blood to my dickhead. But yea, start actually pulling it back while masterbating, when you feel a slight burn (when you know your skin cells are tearing, **and don't worry, the skin heals itself by making more cells**, start pulling back up) plain and simple.

^Relax, we weren't recommending cutting it off. Stretching by yourself doesn't always work. Doctors can prescribe certain ointments that can actually help the stretching process by helping to stimulate cell growth.

I feel ya mate
Had the same thing, noticed it about 3 years ago. Went to the doctor he cut this "white skin" you talk of and I can now pull it behind the head.

Yet it is still hard to pull up n down the head

I havent tried AboveAverage's method yet. But will now.

2 bad the operation makes the penis look like frankenstein Sad
