Well, i read that its ok if your foreskin doesn't go back when you are erect. But when i pull back my foreskin while flacid, it cant go al the way back. The foreskin seems to be somehow stuck to the head. Like its almost fused together. on the other side it can go back, but not on the left. Im really embarassed to tell my parents, is it something that needs help?

Yeah, it's okay if your foreskin doesn't go back all the way as long as it doesn't cause you pain or discomfort. You seem like you have some adhesions between one side of your foreskin and the glans (penis head) which would explain the "fused-ness." Usually it'll resolve itself by the end of puberty at the very latest.
You could probably help it along by pulling your foreskin back gently and washing it so eventually the adhesions will go away. If you really want it resolved now there's a minor procedure that your doctor should be able to do to break the adhesions. I don't know if it's painful but it's probably uncomfortable until it's over with.
Regardless, if that's all that's "wrong" then you don't need a circumcision and disregard anyone who says so, unless that's what you want. There's nothing wrong with being uncircumcised and it's not like less healthy to be uncircumcised or anything, as long as you take care of yourself.

It sounds very much like you have phimosis ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phimosis ). There are various non-surgical and surgical methods to treat it however. Circumcision is not necessary to treat this condition, and I suggest you avoid getting circumcised. Maybe you can read up on stretching the foreskin on your own to treat phimosis. If not, I think doctors can make a small incision (without removing anything!) to make the foreskin wider. Anyway, I do not recommend circumcision. Good luck!

Remember its nothing to worry about, every guy is born with a penis and its upto you to take care of yours.
Just see it as a funny thing that you just want to get checked over. A nice light-hearted conversation with your parents and a trip to the doctors will cure your worries.
If there is anything that needs attention he will tell you.
Best of luck!!

Stop with the embarrassment....wasted feelings! Tell you mom or dad that you need to see a doctor soon...this is not going to get better. The doctor will fix the problem, and it is a problem, will become a bigger problem as you get older. Do not wait. Good luck.

my friend is uncircumsized and I asked him the same thing. I guess its normal. Look up some web sites that show men naked and you can see if your penis looks normal of if its different. My dad is not circumsized and he is not shy about it. Just make sure you wash good.
Hope this helps

Don't be embarassed, they saw you when you were a baby. They won't ask to see it now. Just tell them you want to see the doctor because your having a problem with your penis. Tell them that its a rash, thats all. Go see a doctor though.

Why didn't they circumsize you at birth? Is it because of your religion? If I were you I would tell my parents so that they can take you to the doctor to see what is wrong. You could have an infection going on in there. Don't be afraid to tell your parents that's what they are they are there for.

It's okay, just get yourself some baby oil, and work it in there really good, it will become unstuck. The important thing is to wash it everyday when you take a shower and always keep it clean.

No, I believe you are just fine.... but if you continue to worry and be self-concious about it then you should go see your doctor and ask him about it... I know it may be embarrassing, but I'm sure it's not the first time he has been asked something like this... and that's what your parents are for!!! : )
