Hi there
For about 4 weeks now ive had the skin around the end of my foreskin constantly tearing and scabbing over, my foreskin has always been tight but now everytime I retract it the tears open up, the foreskin has become hard and its sore to touch, does anyone know if this will get better with time?
Many thanks
Were you able to fully retract your foreskin before this tearing occurred? Did it happen all of a sudden?
Do you think that maybe smegma accumulated under the foreskin and is causing your trouble?
Honestly, it is impossible to say anything without seeing. When you say your foreskin has become hard, does it mean that it can’t be retracted or that it has thickened.
I am not sure if it will go away on its own. If you can’t retracted, stuff could accumulate under the foreskin and cause infections. I reckon you should have it checked by an urologist. You may get a treatment if he establishes what it really is.
Let me know how it went and what it turned out to be. I am interested and I suppose many other guys who may be experiencing the same thing would be relieved to read it!

Hey i kinda have the same problem, i am 15 and for about a year i have had a build up of white fleshy stuff. before this i could retract my foreskin all the way but know i can't. i would go to the doctor but i am kinda embarresed.
once or twice before this became a problem i tore my foreskin. which hurt could this be scars mixed with that segum ( dont know how to spell it )
i didn't used to clean my head that well but know i try as hard as i can to clean ( it kinda hard when i cant retract my forskin).
is this serious or is this just a small thing that i can fix.
