Where in the asker's post do you guys get that he has an infection? A tight foreskin does not require circumcision; all industrialized nations know that except the USA, it seems.

Here's the link that another poster talked about.

So you can ask for that cream, and slowly stretch it out and all should turn out fine. It did for me. When you stretch it do it in the shower; it's easier. =)

The most probably cause of this is if you weren't told to slide the foreskin back and rub the head when you shower when you were younger. Once you're able to do that, it only takes five seconds and feels good. That'll keep anything wrong from happening. Nothing wrong has happened since I got mine loose and I enjoy it very much. As for infections; I've never had one down there; not even a UTI.

You clearly have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin opening is too tight/narrow for it to be allowed to retract fully. There are a few things you should try, and a couple that you don't need to go to the doctor's first.

First try stretching exercises; they work in the majority of cases. In one stretching exercise, you take two fingers and stretch the opening of the foreskin as far as it'll comfortably go (like increasing its radius) by hooking a finger on either side of the foreskin opening. It's a little hard to explain and might take a few tries. It's best to do it after a bath when the skin is more pliable. The key is to stretch it comfortably; if it hurts then stop - it could cause scarring if you're too rough and that might make things a lot worse. Do this exercise for a few minutes each day for a few weeks to a month.

If after a month and the exercise doesn't work, then you should see your doctor about prescription creams. There are studies that indicate that these creams are the most cost-effective and one of the best treatments, especially if combined with the exercises. If this doesn't work after about a month (and that's really rare), then you might want to consider surgical options. Note that this doesn't mean a circumcision, as there are more conservative and less invasive treatments than circumcision. Circumcision is really a last resort when everything you've tried has failed (which is again, rare).

See the links below for more info on this subject. I hope you'll find something in there that will work for you.

Yes, you can use a steroidal cream but a doctor would have to prescribe it.

You can also use daily stretching exercises. Start with the penis flaccid, and insert your small fingers into either side of the opening. Stretch outward until it is uncomfortable but not hurting. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax, then repeat 20 times. Do that 3 times a day for a month, and you should start to notice a difference.

If this doesn't work, you will have to see a doctor. A circumcision will not be necessary, but you may have to have a small incision in the side of the foreskin to allow it to retract fully. When that heals, you'll have a bit more room to move.

I have heard of men who have pain fully retracting foreskin I'm a nurse and the best I can think to tell you is maybe use lubrication when flacid and try to massage to get it as far as you can. If continuous massaging doesn't help and you don't find any lotion to loosen it and you're still unhappy then maybe look to plastic surgery or something. It's normal to feel tight when erect, but if the skin is tightening up when flacid you may have some issues with the skin. Make sure to clean thoroughly underneath and around the end because infections appear easily in uncircumcized men and that may be what's causing the problem.

Well q.. really is have you ever been able to fully retract it? If not... then rule out all that "you haven't been taking care of it" nonsense.

Look further into q's on foreskins on this forum.. there was an answer about a week ago that put in a link to some topical cream that is apparently designed to loosen things up for you.

If there is no other remedy, then the issue you raise is one of a few true medical reasons in favour of circumcision, that is, if your erection is uncomfortable.

Cheers. At least you still have yours to make an adult decision about it.

You have a condition called "phimosis," and you do not need to get circumcised. That's like cutting off your ears if you get wax in them. The people who told you to get circumcised simply do not know what they are talking about.

Probably all you need to do is stretch it, with or without cream. Most guys get results in about two weeks if they pull it just to the point of slight discomfort (NOT pain! pulling too hard makes it worse) about 20 times three sessions a day.

I strongly suggest you go to http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/ You'll need to scroll past some stuff about babies to get to the area that's relevant to you.

Another possibility is just to change the way you masturbate: see http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/beauge2/ It can't hurt to try!

Good luck! And don't let anyone cut you.

It's entirely useless so that you can have him circumcised. I'm no longer circumcised and feature under no circumstances had any disorders or lawsuits. I truthfully decide upon it. I'm in opposition to the entire suggestion of child circumcision with out a scientific rationale given that it is getting rid of the rights of the boy to make that determination himself. I additionally suppose that it reduces sensitivity and sexual satisfaction later in lifestyles and makes it extra elaborate to masturbate (which used to be why it obtained preferred to start with). There are not any reliable causes for doing this to an child. They do not even do that in Europe or Asia (except it is for devout causes), and in a few international locations like Norway and Germany, it is unlawful with out a scientific rationale for doing it. All of the so known as advantages to circumcision are blown approach out of share and whilst you placed matters into viewpoint you notice that it does not make any when you consider that in any respect. Pediatricians do not even advocate circumcision anymore. The handiest abilities advantages to circumcision are a diminished danger of having a urinary tract contamination as an child and a diminished hazard of aquiring HIV virus by way of unprotected intercourse as an grownup. Infants shouldn't have unprotected intercourse in order that one should not element into the determination in any respect and even though it used to be, circumcision isn't an powerful way of security from STD's. As a ways as UTI's pass, women are much more likely to get them than boys are. Even an uncircumcised boy handiest has a a million% danger of having one. So that is no longer a well rationale to circumcise both. Chances are, leaving him intact isn't going to result in "infections" and it is not rather anymore hygienic both. As an child it is truthfully simpler to deal with if he is not circumcised given that you shouldn't have care for the wound or do something in any respect however wipe blank. The foreskin does not even retract till later in formative years besides and through then it is a realistic topic of telling him to drag the dermis again and wash it within the bathe. It takes approximately 10 seconds! So do not suppose the entire "it is purifier", "it is fitter" crap. It's only a load of bull! In different phrases, depart the frame as nature supposed. Here are one of the vital causes why men and women believe circumcision must be performed and the exact FACTS to move with them: a million. Circumcision lowers the possibilities of a male child aquiring a Urinary Tract Infection UTI within the first few years of lifestyles from a million% to .001%. However, a million% handiest way a million out of one hundred boys will ever get this and feminine toddlers gets UTI's a lot more mostly than men will, however we do not circumcise them. In the grand scheme of matters, UTI's are rather a non-hassle and an invalid rationale to put in force hobbies circumcision. two. Some reviews have proven that circumcision reduces the possibilities of aquiring HIV by way of unprotected intercourse. However, different reviews have not too long ago contradicted this and moreover toddlers do not most of the time have unprotected intercourse, moreover no person must be. Condoms are the one powerful approach of shielding in opposition to HIV and STD's and circumcision does no longer decease possibilities of contracting different STD's. three. Most Americans uncover a circumcised penis extra asthetically fulfilling when you consider that nearly all of American guys had been circumcised for goodbye. This is not real nevertheless in Europe for illustration in which circumcision may be very infrequent and regarded "specific". Plus, when you consider that handiest part of all newborns are being circumcised in America at present, by the point he used to be historic sufficient for it to topic, that hassle might have most probably dissappeared alltogether. four. Circumcision prevents phimosis (a situation in which the foreskin is simply too tight to be retacted). Phimosis isn't a lifestyles threatening predicament. It's an overly infrequent and beautiful minor situation to start with and there are lots of different (a lot simpler and no more radical) cures for it than foreskin amputation. People that justify this surgical procedure as "preventative upkeep" for an hassle that's most probably under no circumstances to arise within the first situation are simply as unhealthy as any person that might champion an appendectimy on toddlers to avert them from getting appendicitis while they grow older. Next it'll be hobbies mastectomies for women to avert them from getting breast melanoma. It's rather ridiculous whilst you believe approximately it. five. A circumcised penis is simpler to maintain blank than an uncircumcised penis given that smegma can not accumulate beneath the foreskin. Despite that, cleansing an uncircumcised penis is as realistic as retracting the foreskin and washing within the bathe, it actually takes approximately 10 seconds! Oh the heartache! Most boys will truthfully uncover that it feels beautiful well cleansing that specific spot, perhaps that is why men and women wish to eliminate it! In any case that is yet another non hassle assuming that the boy is taught right hygeine. 6. Circumcision gets rid of many specialised nerve cells within the penis and exposes the glans to friction which reasons desensitization. Depending in your viewpoint this can also be both a well factor or a nasty factor. Pro circumcision men and women will let you know that much less sensitivity is well to avert untimely ejaculation.

It sounds like you may have an infection under there. Many men in the 18th century died of gang green under their foreskin because they didn't clean it often. When you shower, pull the skin back and clean under it, and when you get out, make sure you dry it before you put your underwear on..... and if it sweats make sure you dry it also. Bacteria grows in damp warm places which is perfect under your foreskin.

From now on, take this as a lesson and take care of your little buddy....
