Can this be phimosis. Extremely Worried
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have a red spot on the penis head. It doesn't hurt but is there as it is since very long . Now I have started to get worried about it so I checked on internet and found that it can be some sort of infection. But whenever I saw the foreskin was retracted A Lot. I never knew the foreskin can be retracted so much. I am uncircumcised and in thirties and till date I can't pull the foreskin so much . It's just enough to pass urine . And I wash under the foreskin in shower just pulling back little. That's how I have been doing ever since I was a kid.
Please tell me this is normal for uncircumcised males
I am really worried. Any response will be helpful
I am not in position to visit doctor due to some reason.
Though any details on how a doctor visit may look like if at all I need to visit for this problem will also be helpful . What kind of exam Dr may do?
All of it is too embarrassing for me
PS: Don't ask for any pics. Won't be able to share . It's so embarrassing
Eagerly awaiting response .
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You certainly describe phimosis. But the short answer is that if you never had a problem with the foreskin, then probably no need to do anything.
There is stretching exercises that you can do on the foreskin, but it will take many months as you're in your 30's.
There is also steroid based creams to help stretch, which is usually prescribed by a doctor.
Otherwise there is circumcision, but I think that's a little over the top for you.
Feel free to dm me if you prefer private chats.
Rob.

Hi JA what you have described does sounds a lot like phimosis not being able to retract the foreskin wouldn't be classed as normal it is important to retract the foreskin to clean underneath and removed smegma everyday. you shouldn't feel anyway worried or embarrassed about seeing your doctor about this they see this kind of thing everyday. you have described having a red spot on your glans it's important you have this checked out!

Thanks a lot for your replies
Sounds frightening
Yes I am in 30s but scared of doctor visits
Moreover have never had an intimate exam . That's a different scary thing

Hi you have nothing to worry about the first time is a bit daunting but it only takes a minute for exam and its over. you will feel so much better for getting checked out. worrying about something can make things 10 times worse mentally.

Yes please for me it is a difficult situation. I feel terrified even to think about such exam. Wonder what will doctor do if I go.

Don't worry about it just make an appointment and go it's just a normal thing for them. they will ask what they can do for you. So you just explain that you have a problem with your foreskin you can't retract it. They will probably exam you then believe me this won't take long. They will give you there opinion and the best way to go forward perhaps some cream is all you need and some stretching exercises.
