I am seventeen and still have my foreskin. can it stop the growth of the organ?

No: The penis, under homonal stimulation will continue to grow. The foreskin is very elastic & will accommodate penile growth. The foreskin could be come tight with erections & cause some discomfort & may not be easily retractable or retractable at all. Should you have a prblem with the foreskin, see your pcp or see a urologist and discuss this. The foreskin is normal, but you may need some help.

No: Make sure you can retract your foreskin all the way back to the crown of your penis. At your age it is critical to clean the head of your penis daily.

Growth on foreskin that started as a small white head looking pimple. Kept growing over a few months and stopped at the size of maybe 1-2cm in diameter. Now looks like a small cluster of slightly white tipped pimples in one spot. Any clue what it is?
