hi i have red bloches on my ball sack i am worred could any one help me they dont hurt or anythings its just worrying

Hello i am 16 and I have a red spot on the middle bit of my penis, which turned white and has now popped. It is still red and its been there for 4 days now. I have been sexualy active for 2-3 months everyday with my girlfriend . It doesn't hurt or itch or get in the way. I'm just concerned. Can you help me

my foreskin dosnt pull back when i get an erection is this a prombem?

Heeyy guys…Just want to say dont worry about your penis as girls dont really judge you on your penis. Its all good being natural ! Love emz

Hi im 14 and i cant pull my foreskin back fully, but i can see the end underneath. What should i do?

hi im 13 and when i pull my foreskin back i have a white substance ,there can you help me?

Alright so i was just wondering if anyone could give me a little help. Occasionally, like maybe once every 2-3 months but sometimes maybe 1-2 times a month, after i am done urinating and am putting my penis back into my pants i get a sharp shooting pain up my penis into my gut. It only lasts for about 5 seconds but it is about a 9 on a scale to 10 of pain while it lasts. Other than this nothing else is wrong, and i have been screened for STIs. This has just started in the last year and half or so, and has happened about 12 times. And i do not think it is a UTI because it only happens rarely and never more than once a week. If anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them.
