A member asked:

How do i clean under my foreskin without unleashing intolerable pain upon my penis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Carefully: If pain is noted on retraction of the foreskin, adhesions may be present. Medical attention will be needed to reduce these, either by surgery or topical steroid cream.
