Hi Will,

This is common until about age 16 or so. How old are you?

You could try stretching your foreskin. Use your fingers to spread the opening OR get an erection and pull down on the shaft skin to spread the opening. It helps to do these in the shower as the warm water can help soften the skin.

There are steroid creams that can help too. You can also check with your urologist for an evaluation.

You likely have a buildup of smegma under your foreskin. While it may not increase the risk of cervical cancer it can lead to an increase in other infections.
