Don't force the foreskin back !!! That only makes the condition worse. Every time you do, tiny little cracks occur, they cure and....leave scar tissue which makes the foreskin even tighter. You can't win; it's a never-ending cycle..
Doctors have no solution except circumcision.
I have the condition for many years and the only thing that works (and I have used at least a dozen cream, gels and ointments) is a prescription: HC PDER in Ketoderm 1%, I use it in combination with 5000 mg vitamin D.
I use it only once a week IN A VERY SMALL AMOUNT, and rub it deep into the skin.
For the rest of the week I use regular cream with Vitamin D, and/or 99% Aloe Vera.
I clean under the foreskin with an cotton swab.
Yall want some advice STOP MASTURBATING that's why it happens and the more you masturbate the more your penis quill get small just giving some advice..
This is more common than us guys like to admit. I agree with other posters, it IS a yeast infection very similar to Thrush. Another symptom is small cuts all around the top of the swollen foreskin, hence it's nickname 'Spanish Collar' (because it looks a bit like those ruffled collars that used to be worn in the middle ages). Go to the doctors or the pharmacy and get some cream. Wash your hand and your penis several times a day and apply more cream. It WILL go away after a few days to a week or so. :-)
I think you have a yeast infection.
Candidiasis is the name for a yeast infection.
You may try to treat it at home by:
1. Washing the area.
2. Drying the area thoroughly.
3. Applying athlete's foot cream containing clotrimazole.

In my preteens and teens I had a similar sore, red penis problem combined with an itch that drove me nuts. It was there all the time and it encouraged me to masturbate even more so I could forget about my penis for a while after orgasm.
Of course every time I masturbated, the problem got worse. I really started to hate my foreskin. Then when I was about 15, I remembered when I was about 7 and having one of these episodes, I was temporarily staying with an aunt, who saw me squirming round and asked what the problem was. I was so sore I just blurted out that my willy was killing me. She didn't bat an eyelid and took me to the bathroom where I showed her the problem.
She was clearly shocked at how sore the glans and foreskin looked, but said she could easily fix things over a few days. She fetched some bicarbonate of soda from her kitchen and in a cup she made a strong solution in warm water, stirring until the water was clear and all the bicarb had dissolved. She poured some of this onto cotton wool and gently bathed my penis, but I do remember her making sure to pull the skin back as far as it would go and getting right into all the creases, including on the shaft. It was a very soothing experience.
After this she said she'd leave it undried and told me to put on fresh Y-fronts after it had dried naturally. She did this for about four days, twice a day, and the problem was completely fixed.
I don't know why I forgot about this easy and very cheap remedy for years, but in my mid-teens I did use it and it worked perfectly each time.
Bicarbonate of soda kills fungus, so this solution can also be used for any type of fungal infection, like jock itch or athlete's foot. It is available even in grocery stores and is very inexpensive - pocket money will easily buy a small canister/box of the stuff and leave lots of change - and you don't have to worry about awkward questions from the assistant. If you are asked, say your mom sent you to get some, but you don't know what she wants it for! A well filled teaspoon of it in warm water, stirred until it's all dissolved, is all you'll need, with some cotton wool. Use a fresh piece of cotton wool each time and bathe gently but thoroughly. Leave it to dry by itself. Don't dry it with anything, or you'll take some of it off.
The drug companies really don't want you to know about this remedy, because they make so much money out of their medicines, but just because it doesn't have a fancy name and cost a fortune to buy, doesn't mean it's no good. It is excellent. Read about it on the 'net.
But I never came to like my foreskin and was circumcised at 18, something should have done much earlier. It was the best thing for me, but I am sure others will be pleased to remain au natural and use bicarbonate of soda as and when needed!.
This is happening to me right now and THANK GOD im not the only one going thru this.. for the past 2 days it didnt even touch myself down there only to pee and today i said well let me tug on it a bit and i am suffering now... its super red... when i pull the skin all the way back it feels so good but when i let go LORD HAVE MERCY it burns.... and itches... i kid you now i held the skin back for 20 min in hopes all it needed was air... but then that dryness started to happen and kinda hurt again when i let go of the skin... i went to by a anit itch creme and it burned even more so i read someone say it could be yeast infection and I am diabettic and read soewhere that guys have a better chance of getting yeast infection this way... SO im off to CVS to by some cream for yeast infection... =( thing is ... im embarassed.... will a girl help me.... buy it for me.... lol.... i might end up using a one time five finger discount and hope i dont get caught lol
If you didn't lubricate it prior to masturbating, chances are, you may have aggravated it. Give it a few days, and it'll be back
to normal. If it continues, soak it in hydrogen peroxide, for 2 to 3 minutes, and it'll pull out all the impurities and bacteria. It'll be
back to normal in short order.
Uncircumcised, no lubricant (No need), Started happening a few weeks after taking Doxycycline and after fapping every day for a week. I actually hadn't been fapping that often before that week but in the past it was 1 fap per day and I never had this problem. "Red spots" isn't really the right word for it, it's more like just small areas that are red. They appear on the foreskin under the head and where the foreskin (when retracted) is stretched. They do not appear on the head (glans).
