Painful Foreskin
Posted: 07-22-06 23:33pm

Well im 16 and I cant retract my foreskin because its really tight and painful. I can pull back the foreskin alittle when im flaccid but it hurts and the frenulum hurts alot too. I think it might be too short, but I was wondering if theres a problem with me because ive read on some websites that foreskin should be full retractable by the age of 16, if not they must be circumsized. Im really scared that I might have to get circumsized or have phimosis or paraphimosis. I have nobody to talk to about this because I have a single female parent.

I dont know what to do....
Any suggestions or tips of how to retract foreskin or is circumsizion the only way?

I know what you're going through. I'm suffering the same problem. I'm consider getting a circumcision since my foreskin is very long and tight. I tried to put it off in the past but no more. I have suffered from balantis, phimosis, paraphimosis, and painful erections in the past. I have tried retracting my foreskin, but it is painful for me to do so. I don't think manual stretching works for me either and seems to have made things worse for me. It's hurting right now even as I type this. >.< you could try some antibiotic cream. It has helped me in the past, but the problem has come up again. This is the second time its happened to me.

I read 10% of uncircumsized men go through this problem, but it looks like its alo more than that. But do you have to get a prescription for the antibiotic cream? Or can you buy it at any drug store?

You need to have it prescribed to you to get it at the drug store.
