Hi, 4 years ago I cut my foreskin on my zip and since then my foreskin is really tight and keeps tearing and when it heals it gets tighter. Is there anything I can do to help it heal.
i am 25 and have concerns about my penis. firstly it is small, secondly when erect it stands nearly vertical and points up to my belly button and it hurts if i try to bend it straight, it just springs back to being vertical is this normal? this has affected my sexual experiences and my self esteem. also i think my foreskin is tight when im erect and if i masturbate i can only have one a day otherwise my penis will hurt andmy skin gets cuts and sores as i think it is sensitive. Can you give me some advice
Use some lubricant like KY jelly when masturbating, this will help stop the soreness and also, in time, may help with the tight foreskin.
Greetings Dr. Christian, I'm 26 years old and I'm very worried about my scrotum and penis as well. After researching a lot through the internet, I found a medical condition called "Fordyce Spot". I think I got them on my scrotum and 30% my penis (in the beginning of the penis). Is it OK to upload an image to your email address so you can diagnose it whether is it a normal case or not? is it Fordyce's spot or not? is it harmful to my future or not? By the way, I'm single & virgin
I'm 14 turning 15 and my penis is 8inches. Is this normal for my age? It had recently grown quite a bit this past year, is this due to myself going through puberty and will it keep growing?
Some small men have big penises and some big men have small penises, they are all different and normal. Eight inches is a good size, I would expect yours to slow down soon. Most men would like a big penis but size doesn't really matter. Mine is smaller than yours and fits perfectly where it needs to go. I have had friends with very large penises and never heard a complaint about not being able to get it in.
For the past 4 years I have had tendency for the skin on my penis to tear, mainly just below the glans where the tissue is quite soft. The problem is that when the tear heals, it seems to fuse with the skin around it which can make it painful when I have sex and more likely that the skin will tear again. I have seen 2 consultants and have been given some mild steroid cream which improved things but it doesn't cure the problem, - my skin is still likely to split and the fusing seems to make it all worse - a bit of a spiral. Looking at other websites it looks like it could be some kind of a bacterial infection - lychen something or other. I am tired of just putting up with this and would like some advice - thanks.
