I have recently started masturbating and have noticed that my tip of my penis is sort of separating and getting swollen. I am just wondering if this will go back to normal if I stop for a while.

Hi Guest,

I'm guessing you're just starting puberty.

If so, it is NORMAL for the foreskin to separate from the glans up until around age 16 or so.

I know for a fact that that is not it because I am circumcised. So any other thoughts?

In that case it should go down if you stop for a while. It's likely due to trauma from masturbating.

Ok thank you. What if it doesn't? I just want to know in advance just in case I don't find you again in this forum.

If it doesn't you'll need to see your doctor.

Give it some time to heal.
