hi im sixteen and have a problem with my forskin. a peice of my foreskin is still attached to my glands i know its not my frenulum as its on the upper left side ive tried pulling it but it didnt doo any good its stopping me from being able to clean the left side of my glands. im emmbarest about going to the doctors and would like to find out whats the matter please help
There is a normal small strand of skin at the bottom of the glans (head) that belongs there. That is called the frenulum. But if there are sections of the foreskin along the sides or upper part of the head that are stuck to the head, they are called skin bridges, or adhesions.
Sometimes you can separate the two skins just by tugging, but if it is sensitive, that is too difficult. Oils, baby oil or olive oil, help if the glans is very sensitive.
Now here is the way to separate it. About 4 or 5 times a day, put saliva (spit) on the area where the skin is connected. and pull back on the foreskin sort of trying to pull it apart, but not enough to hurt it.
Two reasons why your saliva if effective: First, it contains enzymes that disolve the adherent that is holding the skins together. Second, your saliva is alkaline while your penis end and urine is acidic. (You can test it with litmus paper. Urine turns the paper red and saliva turns the paper blue.) An alkaline environment will allow the skins to separate.
It may take a few days to separate, but it is worth it.

i know this was a while ago since this was posted, but has anone tried it?
i'm 19, 20 this year. embarrasingly i only successfully pulled my foreskin when i was 16, and i noticed that there was a small part of foreskin attached to my penis. thing is, it was on my left upper, like the chap said himself.
i've been to afraid to tell anyone, and i'm desperate to get rid of this problem. i've not let my girlfriend see my penis (at least erect) as of yet, and we've been going out 8 months! i feel abnormal for having this, so help would be great. at least confirming that the saliva to it works.
if it helps, the attachment width at most is a couple millimetres.
please help! i don't want to go to the doctor!
