Hi doctor,
I am a 16-year-old, and I weigh around 121 pounds. While masturbation, I have never tried pulling back my foreskin, but gradually I got to know about pulling it back. I tried it pulling back with the help of oil. But while it is erect, I am scared what if foreskin will not come to its original place. While erect, it is slightly tight. But while flaccid it is loose, but then too I have never tried to pull it completely back because I am scared. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Tight foreskin is a common problem. If you have never pulled it back before, you might find tightness to pull it back, especially in an erect penis. What you need to do is to apply oil preferably olive oil as a lubricant when you masturbate. Do not pull in a flaccid penis, pull in an erect penis and you need to pull gradually and completely. You might get a white material called smegma you need to clean it well after you masturbate. You need to pull your skin front. Usually, if you manage to pull it back it will come forwards again. If you have difficulty in pulling your skin back completely, then you can use steroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream twice daily then start pulling back gradually starting after two weeks of using the cream use the cream for six weeks by the end of six weeks you should be able to pull the skin back completely. Update me after four weeks.
Thank you.
