Hi, I'm a 15 year old male and I need some help. In the last year I have had a few problems between the legs where I had spots on the foreskin and had pain while urinating and aching testicles....I had been to the doctors about all of these and it turned out that there wasn't really Anything that was wrong with me. But because all this has happened it has made me very paranoid about everything that happens to me.
First thing I would like to ask is what colour is the end of my penis meant to be? When I am relaxed the end of my penis is sort of a brown and purpley sort of mixture but it appears a bit patchy. When I pull my foreskin all the way back under the ridge it seems alot darker than the top of the head of my penis. Also about 5 months ago I had never actually pulled my foreskin that far back and I found a horrible catering of yellow stuff. I think this was an accumalation of smegma building up there. So I washed that all of but it Made me paranoid that I had some sort of an infection. Since then under the ridge has been alot darker in colour. Also where the foreskin starts which is obviously permanatly cover the ridge area it seems to be a bit red but the it fades out.
In the last few days I have come over another problem. Under the ridge and on the head of the penis there seemed to be some sort of a peeling. When I rubbed under the ridge this sort of White or yellow stuff came of and underneath seemed to be more skin but it was more red. I tryed to rub all I could of but as you can imagin it was very uncomfortable to rub the head of my penis and soo I didn't get alot off. It doesn't seem to be right at the top of my penis just a little way down where it is covered by the foreskin.
I got an erection the other day and I pulled the foreskin back to see what it was looking like. It was alot more red and this was when I noticed this sort of strange peeling. It was literally rubbing off.
Also in the underside of my penis I have almost like a vein that leads right to the top. Sometimes this appears to be quite dark in colour
To. What does this veil like thing do and what colour should it be?
I usually keep my heigene good but I never knew I was Kent to be washing under there and doing that. Since I found the yellow accumalted stuff I wash there every day but am not sure what I should Be doing. I pull u foreskin back everyday now and splash warm water over it. What else can I do.
Please someone help about this pealing thing. Is it accumalatig agIn because I'M not washing well enough.
I would just like to add that I have never had any sort of sexual activity and so it can be an STD. Also I'm not exactly an early starter of
Puberty but would like to add I can ejaculate and have hair under my arms just to give you
ARough idea how Far I am through puberty.
Please help
Sorry for any spelling errors...have written all of this in my iPod... :-D [/list]

Considering that you still have you foreskin and haven't had any sex what so ever or pulled your foreskin back that far before that "yellow stuff" that you found was like you said probably smegma, witch of course means that you need to pull your foreskin back when you shower and clean yourself. I would suggest using a bit of soap because without soap your not really killing any bacteria (and bacteria is why the smegma was there) I'm sorry that I can't tell you much about the washing part of this being a girl I don't know about male hygiene very much.You sound quite paranoid, but please try to put your mind at ease.
As for the pelling, I wouldn't know if thats normal I being female and all but what I can tell you is that everyday dead skin cells fall off of our body (trying to keep us clean) and if you haven't been washing with soap and water (you need to wash a bit better seeing as you had smegma) then you probably need to because the dead skin on your genitals isn't being cleaned off of your phallus.
As for the vien, guys and girls have a couple really noticable viens down under just like you do, I know I do. Does this wein like thing throb/puls or become more noticable when you've got an errection? If so then that is a vien and you've got nothing to worry about, that vien helps you get and keep an errection. :-)
I hope I was able to help you, for a 15 yr old girl I'm pretty clueless. @.@

Hi Jamie--first of all, let me tell you this the quickest way possible. MOST of what you've posted about is normal, talking about the vein, the color of your penis, that sort of thing. It does sound like you have a skin issue with your penis so you do need to go see a doctor about that. Can you see a doctor soon? PLease let me know!
Jamie, can you let me know if you ever went to a doctor? I posted on here and then never heard back from you. I'd like to know if you're doing okay! Can you please let me know?
Just going back to an earlier post, soap on your glans? Ouch. I'm not a medical professional so won't rule it out completely but I'd definitely go for a 'sensitive' one.
Soap is probably not a good idea. I heard the best way to clean is simply with warm water, which is more than enough to do a good job.
