: If your foreskin is on the tight side it can be more prone to becoming irritated or inflamed. A urologist can evaluate and advise you best.

It sounds like recurrent Balano-posthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin)Try some otc antibiotic ointment and if it still recurs the best move is a circumcision
