Question 1

i am uncercumsised and the head of my penis is very sensitive. what id the proper way to clean it?

Accepted Answer

Gently: Gently retract the foreskin and while exposed, gently was the head of the penis with just water and bath soap. The foreskin must be fully retracted to allow complete cleaning of the entire head of the penis or they may buildup of smegma underneath the foreskin. No special soaps or cleaning materials are needed.

Question 2

please explain why is the head of my uncircumcised penis so sensitive after i ejaculate, that i can't keep going?

Accepted Answer

This is normal: Many -- maybe most -- young men get a sensitive glans after ejaculation and need to stop stimulating it. If she wants continuing stimulation, use your hands, mouth, or whatever seems right. A dab of topical anesthetic on you may help.

Question 3

i have this problem with my penis first of all i'm uncircumcised and i can retract my foreskin, my penis head is very sensitive, dry and it hurts help?

Accepted Answer

See a urologist: You likely need to treat with prescription strength steroid cream or require a circumcision. You could apply Bacitracin ointment whilst waiting for your urology appointment.

Question 4

im 20 & have just learned how to properly clean my uncircumcised penis from a urologist. thus, i have never retracted my foreskin or exposed the head before. as such, retracting the foreskin & any contact (touch,water) to penis head is painful. tips?

Accepted Answer

Keep trying: Any area of the body that is protected will be sensitive. I would make it a regular habit to retract the glans when you wash. I think you will find in time the glands will get less sensitive. If you do not notice any difference after a two to 4 week period then I would let the urologist know about the issue

Question 5

im uncircumcised and ive been dealing with burn on the forskin with/without urinating and cracks appeared slightly down the penis head, ive had this problem for a week now. the burn cooled down a bit but still im feeling some. ps:tests were clean?

Accepted Answer

: If you had a sensation of burning on your foreskin, you should be checked for STDs. Even if the initial round of test was negative, you should return to your doctor for further evaluation. You should avoid sex in the meantime. Good luck.

Question 6

i get red spots/balanitis on my penis head after sex/masturbation. mostly disappears in a day. my partner is clean. i am uncircumcised. is it std/rash?

Accepted Answer

STDs: The best way in which to obtain an answer to your question is to have a professional examine the rash and test you accordingly. Good luck.

Question 7

very sensitive penis on the corona glans section of uncircumcised penis. skin will not pull 100% all the way back when fully erected. too sensitive?

Accepted Answer

PHIMOSIS: Meaning the opening of the foreskin is tight. 3% of men are born with this. The treatment consists of topical steroid therapy. We recommend 0.05% Betamethasone to be applied twice daily with mechanical gentle retraction for 2 months. This is a prescription medication. It is very safe and has and 80% chance of resolving the tightness.

Question 8

i have a white film on the head of my penis (uncircumcised) and wondering if it is an infection?

Accepted Answer

Likely not: A white, cheeselike substance (smegma) is a normal finding that is not indicative of infection. This accumulates under the skin of an uncircumcised male.

Question 9

the head of my penis is not sticking out it is just the foreskin is that normal? i'm uncircumcised

Accepted Answer

Phimosis: Phimosis, or preputial stenosis, is a term that usually means any condition where the foreskin of the penis cannot be retracted. Most infants are born with a foreskin that cannot be retracted and the prepuce may be tight until after puberty. A fully retractable foreskin occurs in 50% of ten year olds, 90% of 16 year olds and 98 to 99% of 18 year olds.  Speak with a urologist about your options

Question 10

i am uncircumcised and my foreskin covers the full head of my penis when flaccid and erect. is this normal? i am 19.

Accepted Answer

Circumcision: Usually if you had had a circumcision your foreskin should not be covering your penis at all. It would be good to see an urologist in order to find out what else might be going on. The only way to tell at this point is by taking a look at it.
