Hi, I'm 17 and am having problems with the foreskin, I've masterbated for a year and a bit now and have stopped for the past few days to let it heal. I'm getting more than a little worried about my symptoms however, I wanted to ask here first as I don't want the embarresment of going to the doctor if it can be cured at home. :$
Symptoms:
- Tip of foreskin slightly paler than the rest of the penis
- Experienced cracks that I currently have and have had once a few weeks back which went away, but this time are very soar. Last time they did heal on their own though. I think I caused them by trying to stretch the foreskin over my head to much the other night in the bath.
- Foreskin is very tight and I can only pull the foreskin back to see the very tip of the head. Which I was thinking of trying to stretch but with the current small cuts is impossible because of the pain.
- Foreskin also seems like it is wrinkly / stretch marks? on the end (don't know if its the right description)
I am currently trying to use talc to cover the affected area to keep it dry but am wondering if baby lotion / oil will help take the wrinkly bits away.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
This is common with younger men.
You need to keep working your foreskin to stretch it. I agree, I do think that the cracks were caused by trying to pull your foreskin over the head. It's going to take time, but you need to keep at it, gently.
Some people find olive oil helpful. Any good lube would work though.
I wouldn't worry about the tip being slightly paler or being more wrinkly. As the foreskin stretches that will tend to happen.
Take your time and never force your foreskin back. It can get stuck and that would require a doctors visit.
Keep at it though. This is something you must do.
Good luck
