So I'm 20 and a month ago I just pulled it back and I have been washing it with hot water and palmolive soap every day. There never has been much smell and I never really saw Smegma. Anyways I'm seeing my doctor soon but I need to know what I can do for the everything to be the same colour. When it is erect it can get pulled back and forth but it does become tight

    First of all, do not use SOAP on your foreskin-it gets rid of good bacteria and invites bad bacteria , dries your glans and foreskin which could cause micro tearing which will invite infections. To clean you need only running water over it while gently rubbing the surface with your fingers. It looks like you are of Asian decent but everything looks fine to me aside from the darkened area on your right side but does not look concerning. The glans is supposed to be purple around the rim(corona) as there's more blood vessels there.

      Okay I just see a lot of contrasting advice. I'll just now use running water, hot or cold? Yes, I am Indian sir.  What's with those little transparant  (lumps?) around the the edge of the glans, that's what's worrying me about it all not being normal. Also, why is everything not the colour purple/red. It does get tight sometimes and I think I have a case of phismosis, any advice or shall I get a circumsion.

      Sorry for the all the extra questions but I'm just worried and I want to start taking care of my body properly now.

    Warm water does a lot more than cold water! The transparent bumps are called pearly penile papules and are skin variation-meaning the are normal and 30 percent of males have them. I have themsmile

    The difference is color is genetic, and you have tiny veins that cause the purple color. The color is completely normal!

    I would not recommend getting a circumcision- it's really quite damaging. You start to callus , which will reduce penile sensitivity and it's REALLY painful. Like I said I'm a urologist in training and out of all the procedures I've seen/gone through I would say that circumcision was the worst!

    I was able to see your pictures

      Thank you for all the advice!

      Lastly, what can I do to treat phismosis and Is there anything I can do to increase my girth

    You can treat phimosis by stretching the opening- enough to feel pressure but not enough to hurt yourself. Betamethizone will definitely help!

    Girth is purely genetic but if you keep using your penis it keeps it healthy and maintains it and could cause your veins to enlarge and increase it slightly but other than surgery and jelquing( nothing shows that it works) it will stay that way but you are still growing. Mine didn't grow till I was 23

    Don't try to increase size. Be content with what you have.

    I think your best move would be to update this once you have seen the Doc ...

    > Do not wash your glans with soap, just use running water - best to do this everytime you have shower
