Foreskin

[leathal]

Hi, I'm 15, is it normal for my foreskin to not be able to be pulled back over my glans? or do I need some cream?

[Ethe14]

Yes and no. It might get better over time but if it doesn't you'll need to talk to a doctor. Either cream or circumcision like me.

[leathal]

how long? what sort of age?

[Ethe14]

Maybe a year.

It's semi normal. Eventually in theory the skin should stretch out over time, however some people need a little help because their foreskin is too tight. I would say try putting lotion and try stretching it till you can get it back all the way. If you absolutely can't i would highly advise asking your doctor because not being able to wash or pull your foreskin all the way back can be an issue. :)

By age 15, you should be able to freely pull you foreskin back over you glans. It is hard to believe that you have never seen you exposed head. See a doctor soon. If he says you need circumcised, don't fight it. I was cut when I was 13 and it was no big deal. Good luck.

I can pull it back like 1.5cm

You sould have always been able to pull your foreskin all the way back like me. Yes you need cream for it which will probably work. It should have been applied when you were little, so that you would have been able to clean better. So start with that first. It's a common problem usually corrected that way.

My skin sorted itself out after I done some stretching exercises in the shower :)
I can pull it back all the way now

Hopefully it works out for you. Too many doctors just choose circumcision as it's the quickest solution to many problems regarding foreskin hence why I never went to one.

[Second Chance]

I would say it is not normal that your foreskin is unable to be pulled back. I would see a doctor who can take a look at things down there to see what's going on. By your age most boys' foreskins are pretty loose and can go back and forth. The cream you're referring to works pretty well for most boys, and it can really loosen things up. Just talk with your doctor, and I am sure things can work out.

I had this problem when I was 14, I just strwtched my foreskin as far as it would go comfortably every day in the shower, and now my foreskin is fine. You can also get cream but you DEFINITELY don't have to be circumcised

[The captain]

If you can't pull back when soft, so you have phimosis and need to see a doctor, but if you can't when hard, may be try day by day a little

[deregisterme]

It's mainly all been said already. It really depends if it's mild or severe. If you can pull it all the way back when soft, you're generally OK, and it just needs stretching exercises when hard (being wet in the shower helps). Doc can prescribe cream if necessary. The length of time it will take depends on how much stretching is needed. Only if it's really tight would a doc consider circumcision.

[FaitoDayo]

Well, for me, I can pull it about halfway, but it is quite normal not to be able to. But if you are over 18, there might be a problem. And NO, a circumcision is not necessary, and when they tell you that and you believe them, go check sources first and decide for yourself. If there's no infections and burning, even if you can't pull your foreskin back, a circumcision isn't really necessary.

[Hey-Im-Connor]

just stretch it slowly

[Hermes]

You should be able to pull it back so some intervention is required. For most people simply stretching should be enough. The stretching can work faster with the application of a steroid cream which the doctor can prescribe or you may be able to get from a pharmacy.

Only in very rare cases would circumcision be necessary so don't accept that as a treatment option unless you have given the stretching with cream a reasonable chance to work and it has not helped.

[leathal]

[swimmerbby]

is it normal for my foreskin to be connected to my bellend?

[Body odah Man]

Don't know sadly

[sparkles]

is it normal for my foreskin to be connected to my bellend?

Yes, absolutely normal. The piece on the bottom of the head that connects the foreskin to the head is called the frenulum. In some people this is too short and is what is called "frenulum breve". It can be treated many ways.

[deregisterme]

is it normal for my foreskin to be connected to my bellend?

Via what's known as the frenulum (or banjo string), yes. It's similar to the bit that connects your tounge to the base of your mouth.
