Sudden tightness of foreskin?!
Question: hi im 14 and i was examining myself and i realised my foreskin had gotten a lot tighter and harder to pull down than usual. The bottom half of my penis has also suddenly got bigger (not the top just the bottom) it has also gotten bulkier.
My foreskin has not ever been tight before.
do you think ive caught part of the skin underneath the head? ive tried to look and cant really see anything unusual. or is it just puberty again and my penis has got larger but it is harder to masturbate?

sounds like your penis is enlarging faster than the foreskin is stretching out to accomodate it. It can happen during puberty when things change in all sorts of weird ways and in no particular order.
Best suggestion is to work at stretching it some each day so it will alow full easy retraction. Jump in a nice hot bath, get erect and pull it back and forth as much as you like. The movement will be made easier by the warm water. And while it is moving nicely in the bath, feel free to enjoy yourself too.
you are probably just going through changes in your body.
if it is continuing to bother you, you could see a doctor about it but im sure it will go away
sounds to me like you got a hard on for the first time! Congrats boy!
there nothing wrong with you you r still growing you be OK
You are alright. This is normal. It's all about changes. Everything will be proportional again.
This is called phimosis. You might need to see a doctor about it. I think your penis is growing faster than the outer skin can grow. There may be stretching exercises you can do while you are in a warm bath, to help the skin stretch.

It's just growing, don't worry about it. If it is too tight to pull comfortably back over the head, try gradually stretching it back in the shower or in a hot bath.
Ask your parents to arrange a circumcision for you. You need to be circumcised!
Tightening up of a foreskin that has never been tight before is often due to a thrush (yeast) infection. Try a tube of cream from a pharmacy designed for women's genitals, Canestan or something similar.
The swelling does sound unusual. Did you have a vigouous masturbation session or have your foreskin pulled back for quite a while? If there has been any injury then the swelling should just go down on it's own.
