Do I have a penis infection (please help)?!


Question: Do I have a penis infection (please help)?
Hi there.
So three days ago, I noticed at school that there was some... uncomfort, I guess in my penis. I did not check what it was until I got home. One of my pubic hairs was stuck under the foreskin of my penis.

It has now been three days, and it still hurts. I cannot properly pull back my foreskin, parts of the penis look red-ish (like the string connecting the head of the penis with the foreskin, and other parts of the foreskin) and the upper parts of the foreskin look kind of swollen. There is also some sort of puss-like substance emerging from the penis at times.

I have bathed two times since this, and the penis feels a whole lot better after it, but like half a day afterwards the pain and irritation returns.

What is causing this? Is it an infection? Or did I just simply hurt the head of my penis, and now the foreskin has swollen up to protect that part of the head?
What should I do about this?

I'm pretty worried, and some help would be very much appreciated.

If it continues, see your school doctor about it - and IGNORE THE SPAM MERCHANT LEANNE REITMEIER AT ALL COSTS



If you have pus coming out of your penis, you need to see a doctor. I very much doubt that a stray pubic hair caused this. More likely, you've been using soap on the glans and it got infected. You must never use soap on the glans. Rinse with water - that's all it needs. The glans is covered by a delicate mucous membrane and the foreskin keeps this membrane healthy by maintaining a layer of microflora (bacteria) that fight infection. If you remove these bacteria by overzealous washing, you open yourself up to infection.



The pubic hair under your foreskin is what caused it.
If it hurts when you pee, then yes, you have.
If it doesn't then no.
Drink as much as you can, and urinate as much as possible, also, I'm not suggesting deffo take them, but take Amoxil or something 3 times a day, and prevents infection.

It is most likely an infection. If you are not circumcised, the chances of getting an infection rise dramatically. I know this sounds scary, but in order to prevent any more infection, if you are not circumcised, I would recommend getting it circumcised.

Sounds like your not cleaning well enough in the shower you need to ba able to pull back the forskin a lil to clean and urinate dont let stuff fester under the skin.



well it needs clean out under your foreskin try too pull it back as far as you can in a warm bath and let it soak you will have too do this everyday till you can get it retracted the whole way back too get it clean take a couple of Q tip swaps with you and when you have it pulled back far as you can use them too get under the skin too clea it it gonna feel funny but the sooner you get it clean the sooner it will stop hurting on the pulling back also pull it forward and put 2 fingers in it too help stretch the skin it won't happen over night but it will in a few days
