Since I can remember I was always able to
fully retract my foreskin, ALL the way
without any pain whatsoever...This past
week Ive noticed that when I do bring it
all the way back its tighter than usual
and sort of uncomfortable, and when I
looked closely there is a few small cuts
on my the inner side of my foreskin that
hurts. When I go in the shower I feel pain
when the water makes contact with the
cuts. The first day I noticed this was
because I had redness on the actual glans
of my penis. The redness got worse after I
masturbated but after a couple of days it
went away and I havent had any redness.
This is really pissing me off because all
my life I was able to pull my foreskin
back and not feel 1 bit of discomfort and
now all of a sudden I can't even do that.
When I put condoms on before sex my
foreskin retracts all the way, now I'm
afraid to even have sex because of any
discomfort I might feel. I read up on
Phimosis but I dont think thats my case
because I can in fact pull my foreskin all
the way behind the head of my penis, its
just not as comfortable as it used to be.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to
what this problem I have might be?

when you masturbate, do you retract the
foreskin? If so, you could have retracted
it too quickly and caused it to tear
slightly.
WHat I'd suggest is for you to leave it be
for about a week. Don't retract it(other
than to wash it), and no masturbating(with
retraction).
If it doesn't get better in a week, call
your Dr. Don't be embarassed to talk with
him/her, they see things like this all the
time!

I have recently been confirmed has having
this condition.
The tearing is a classic symptom, and is
not phimosis as you rightly thought.
What you may be suffering with is the
early stages of;
LICHEN SCLEROSUS.
This is a rare skin condition, that mainly
affects women.
The tearing over time causes scarring that
makes pulling the foreskin back even
harder to do, and the skin becomes very
fragile.
You DON'T need a circumsion (thank
goodness!)
What you need is to go to your GP and
explain that yo need a TOPICAL STEROID,
such as Betnovate, or Derovate.
DON'T use soap or shower gel, get some
Dermol 200 from the chemist, this will
also act as a lubricant to haelp you.
