Question

I used to feel really healthy with my penis and be really proud of it, but about 1 and a half months ago, my penis head started off getting flaky, it got worse and worse, i washed my penis daily (always have done) and then eventually it went but then my foreskin went tight, and i tried to pull it back in panick and hope it would pull back but then this would cause cuts all around the foreskin of the penis. These cuts have cleared but there is still 1 or 2 coming back to haunt me but now, under my foreskin its itchy frequently. It has been just slightly easier recently to pull back the foreskin when im not erect, cause even when i wasnt erect it was nearly impossible at one stage but now it is possible and its done but with a bit of a pain. Also, there seems to be creamy type flakes under my foreskin which appears every day but then i wash it off, it still comes back. My penis throughout the day feels normal. Please help me, what should i do? My penis has always been perfect up until now and ive had no previous problems with it. I am 16 years old, and its dragging my confidence down and im trying to hold back on getting a girlfriend because im embarresed, what should i do? do i see my doctor?

I had some of the same symptoms for 1.5 years. I went to many doctors, used many creams and medications and home remedies as well, nothing worked unfortunately. Last I went to another urologyst and said I suffered from recurrent balanitis due to yeast infection and he recommended me circumsicion. After thinking about it for a long time I decided to go for it and that was the solution to my problems, my penis looks healthy again and back to the normal color and no more tight foreskin forming a painful ring. I feel bad for you, bacause you are only 16, well tell your parents about your problems and make an appointment to an urologyst. In the mid time try these home remedies:
1- Try to keep your foreskin retracted and dry your penis with cold air after shower.
2- mix 2 tablespoons of white vinegar in a glass of water and soak your penis in for a couple of minutes. twice daily. (doctor's remedy)
3 Put some yogur twice daily.
I hope these work for you and circumsicion won't be necessary. Good luck

Hello, 
Your condition sounds like Balanitis. 
Or specifically lichen planus and/or maybe psoriasis. In any case, you will not get well without consulting an urologist. Balanitis can have many causes. 
Sometimes a circumcision will solve the problem. I had to go thru that as i had the same symptoms last year. It was Lichen planus. 
You will have to see a doctor for that.
