Foreskin Problems
February 10th, 2008
I'm 16, and been sexually active before. However, there's always been a problem with my foreskin retracting, there's a little bubble-looking thing sitting just north of the opening, that seems to be attached to both my foreskin and my glans. It means that when my foreskin gets pushed back, it pulls on this bubble, causes pain, and doesn't go any further.

This bubble's been here since I remember starting to explore myself at about 14, so it can't be an STD.
Anyone have any clues for me?

It's either phimosis or a large frenulum. Get your doctor to check it out. It may be easily healable.

This is a common problem for uncircumcised men. Your frenulum is not long or elastic enough to account for the stretching that needs to happen when your foreskin is pulled back. There are ointments/stretching techniques or a minor surgical procedure called a fenuloplasty that can be done to help. Definitely talk to your doctor about it, because there are documented cases where sex can be painful for men with this condition (frenulum breve)

And what about the bubble-shaped growth?
I'm aware that it's possibly phimosis, but that still doesn't explain the bubble.
Thanks for the replies so far.

I'm not certain what the bubble is. Has it always been there? Does it hurt in any way?

It's been there as long as I can remember.
I believe it used to hurt to the touch, but not lately. Only when the foreskin is trying to roll back.

You dont mean the head of your penis do you? Or is it like a pimple or cyst sort of growth?

It could just be a result of the stretching that goes on... or it could be a cyst or growth. THe best way is to not guess, but to see a doctor.

It's not the head of my penis, I know enough to know that.

Was sexually involved with a girl the other night, and I made some discoveries.
It still hurts like hell when the foreskin rolls back, it can expose the head, but the bubble is not attached to the foreskin.
It makes sex kinda hard when there's pain in every movement, but I'm slightly embarrassed to go to a doctor.
Would I have to find a different doctor, or would a GP suffice?
