lil problem

[cookiesandcream]

hi.

i’ve got a little problem and i’m looking for some home remedies and stuff to fix it.

my entire penis seems totally normal except what’s under my foreskin. i’ve never really been able to pull it back but i’m working on that with my doctor (used a cream before, nothing worked. jacking alone helped open it up but still can’t get it past. circumcision would be last resort). well, under my foreskin it’s pretty pink and it looks raw. it looks like there are two lips around my urethra opening (where everything comes out). frenulum looks pretty red. looked this up and the main causes it said were excessive jacking and a yeast fungal whatever infection. obviously not an STD tho. i don’t excessively jack so that’s probably not it, i’m going to hold off on jacking for as long as i can though just to be safe. well, if it’s fungal infection or whatever, idk what to do abt it. it’s pretty smelly and its likely that there’s a lot of smegma, even tho i wash well everyday. so......

anyone have any idea how i can get rid of this ugly mess? tea tree oil? washing with or without soap?? i really don’t want to talk to my parents youth or a doctor, because it’s not super duper serious. just looking for a simple way to get my penis back to normal...... thx for all the help

also i’m 13 almost 14

Obviously nobody who answers here (including myself) are doctors of any kind. From what I understand, the inside of the foreskin is naturally fused to the head of the penis during young ages, and gradually detaches with development, with no exact, "right time." That's probably why masturbating helped you retract your foreskin more, the action broke down the fibers connecting the two tissues. I don't think the tight foreskin and the inflammation are connected, but I could be wrong. Maybe the tightness retained some bacteria, it's impossible to tell. Anyway, it could be a yeast infection, and I think there are store-bought creams for that but they may have to be prescribed, I'm not sure. Maybe try CVS or Walgreens? Honestly, I would talk to someone about it, whoever you have in your trusted circle that would accept it the best and try to help. If it's not super duper serious, maybe give it time to clear up just to see what identifying symptoms appear that would allow for a diagnosis. At the VERY LATEST you should absolutely tell someone immediately if you experience any pain associated with it. Also, those two lips around the urethra are normal, it's called the meatus. Couldn't tell if you meant the existing lips were inflamed or if they had just developed more and you thought it was a symptom.

IMHO you should go to a doctor

You say you are working on your problem with your doctor, maybe he has some idea

You should definitely talk to your dad about all of this. And show him your penis and the things and areas that you're concerned about. I'm assuming that since you're uncircumcised, that he is uncircumcised, too, and maybe when he was 13 he had similar issues and concerns. You definitely need to openly share this with your dad. Don't be the least bit embarrassed. Talk with him privately, pull down your pants, and show him what you're worried about.

i’ve got a solution. i’m gonna wait and try to gently wash stuff up everyday, and see if anything clears up in a little bit. if it doesn’t, i’ll try a cream or something. and i’ll talk to my mom last if it’s really bad. which it really isn’t right now. just some smegma and raw stuff.

update it’s morning and it looks pinkish and normal ish. keep in mind tho that i’ve seen this on me for a while or what seems like forever and it hasn’t caused a big deal.i think the scary infectionnstuff is all i’m my head, i just need to give it a resT.

I agree with the others that trying to handle this on your own is not going to work. You are long past home remedies to clean up your problem, and there is just no way that simple soap and stretching is going to solve your issue. You have already talked to a doctor about your issue, and it is not like your problem is a mystery at this stage. You really should not feel ashamed of your issue because you have a really tight foreskin that needs to be loosened up. Especially since you are most likely able to make cum chances are when you ejaculate you just cannot get things down there totally clean.

If you know for a fact you have a yeast or fungal infection, then you have no choice but to see a doctor since you need to be on medication. Something like that cannot be treated at home, and you need medical attention.

I agree with the others that you should talk with your Father, if you have one in your life, or at very least your guardian. You have to go back to the doctor and be totally honest about your issue. Now that you probably have pubic hair, sweat, and can cum that is not going to be a good combination down there with a foreskin that is stuck. More likely than not the doctor can and will help you out, and your problem is pretty common. Do not worry, and I am sure if you work with your doctor things will work out fine.

you could try sitting in a warm bath and slowly trying to pull your skin back. might take several baths before you get it to pull back much. It may also help to clean under the head of your penis

You should almost certainly see a doctor pretty soon. If it is a yeast infection, what you can do is wash really well, but then make sure you dry the area underneath your foreskin, as wet environments grow the most bacteria.

If you have a yeast/fungal infection under your hood the only solution is seeing a doctor. I would recommend trying the warm bath method and if you don't have an improvement by say the weekend, you need to speak up and have your mum take you to the doctor. It is common, especially with boys who can't retract all the way. Don't be embarrassed. I had tightness after my dick started thickening up and had to do stretch exercises and cream under the direction of a doctor too. Luckily mine was just because my dick was getting thicker and longer and now I retract easily and fully when erect and don't have any issues with smegma or yeast.

I would keep working with your doctor. Lot's of uncut guys glans and inner foreskin is really red so that is not really abnormal. Keep doing stretching but take it easy. If you get to a point where it hurts stop right there. Good luck man. Keep the foreskin.

Excessive friction can cause inflammation in which case being less rough will help. A fungal infection can be treated with a cream from the pharmacy but whether you can get it over the counter it need a prescription from a doctor depends on where you live.

Another possibility is too much soap especially if it has recently begun to retract and you have cleaned there rather enthusiastically. Try cleaning with just warm water and see if it improves. I don't think this is medically urgent but certainly if it has not resolved next time you see the doctor to review the progress of your skin stretching then talk it through with him. If it is causing you distress before then, then make an earlier appointment.
