Q: Foreskin - Tight - What Can I Do?

Im 16/male. Noticed that from when I was 13 my foreskin was tight. I thought i'd let it go untill about 16 or so. Im 16 now in a few day's, still hasnt 'fixed itself'

i can pull it back when it is flacid but it doesnt feel too good. Cant pull back when erected at all, impossible.

I was thinking of seeing the doctor at the end of the week? What can he do?

This is a common problem but I believe that circumcision should only be considered if all other methods have been unsuccessful.

Just back from the doctors today. I found it hard to tell him.

Anyway... He had a look at it flacid. The skin did pull back flacid. But he didnt see it erected (harder to pull back).

He told me to try stretching it for 6 months and to come back to him. Didnt perscribe me with cream or anything.

He says in 6 months if it doesnt stretch I should get a full circumstision. This really doesnt sound nice and im worried about it. Looking at some pictures of the full circumstision it doesnt look nice.

Id prefer to go without having sex than go through with what a just saw.

Harsh, really harsh. Worrying about it now.

Any methods for stretching?
