Question 1

purple skin abrasion(i think) below the head of my penis. foreskin seems to be looser. uncircumcised. from a drunken lonely night.

Accepted Answer

If forskin was: tight or stuck to head of penis and pulled away when drunk it can cause pain.  Please see your doc for an exam to make sure all is ok.  After that, consider speaking w/a mental health professional to assess your drinking and lonliness, which may be the root of the situation.  Peace and good health.

Question 2

i got a handjob from a woman lube was not used. i noticed afterwards there is a minor abrasion on the foreskin of my penis (circumcised) from the friction that is starting to scab over. any worry about an std from the hand because of broken skin?

Accepted Answer

: Highly unlikely, check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding STD transmission.

Question 3

is my foreskin normal?

Accepted Answer

Humans have foreskin: The foreskin normally covers the end of the penis in every normal newborn boy. Foreskin gradually loosens between ages 5 and 16 years, and there is no rush to do that. After loosening, the foreskin can slide back and forth. When loose enough, it slides behind the glans during erections. The foreskin protects the glans of the penis from getting dried out, desensitized, injured, etc...

Question 4

do i need my foreskin?

Accepted Answer

Depends on "need": Is a foreskin necessary?  Many have survived without one.  If it causes problems, you might even be better off without one.

Question 5

how to "stretch" my foreskin?

Accepted Answer

Use steroid cream: Try to retract foreskin, then apply prescription strength steroid cream (ie 0.1% Betamethasone or Kenalog) to tight area morning &amp; night until loose. Always pull foreskin back over glans to avoid paraphimosis. Will not work if foreskin opening is scarred, in which case surgery will be required.

Question 6

when should my foreskin detach?

Accepted Answer

Foreskin does what?: Detach? Come off? I do not believe this can happen. Do you mean that the foreskin cannot be pulled back over the glans or head of the penis?

If you cannot retract the foreskin over the glans then i would recommend that you see your family physician.

Question 7

foreskin is intact is it hygenic?

Accepted Answer

Circumcision: has been shown to decrease the risk of infections in both the man and his sexual partner(s).  However, circumcision is rarely indicated in an adult male due to the associated risks.  Practicing good hygiene is very important and can make a difference.  Keep the foreskin and glans clean by washing thoroughly with antibiotic soap and water.

Question 8

is outer foreskin is mucousmemberane or not ?

Accepted Answer

: It is skin

Question 9

what are the benefits of foreskin restoration?

Accepted Answer

None in my opinion: This requires major surgery. Cosmetic results are not very good, even in the best of hands. Only benefit might be if subject feels psychologically crippled due to lack of poreskin!

Question 10

please advise if it's normal to have nonretracting foreskin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ...: Redundant long foreskin is okay as long as not posing difficulty in local hygiene or risk of recurrent inflammation, as well, not hurting at intercourse. In fact, some studies seemed suggesting better sexual satisfaction without circumcision. So, you judge.
