Circumcision Problem washing genitals?!


Question:

Circumcision Problem washing genitals?

I am not circumsized and it has gotten to a point where it hurts to pull my foreskin down so I can wash it because the excess skin is tighter than the head of my penis, it is nearly impossible to actually. Is this unhealthy? What are my choices, what should I do?


Answers:

You should get it loose by stretching it, as Bob said. That's what I did and it worked. I did it like 8 years ago and it's been perfect ever since.

Many doctors don't even know that (because many are cut themselves since they're older). You can also get a very successful cream. Often you just have to 'use' it more for it to slide back more.

As far as the other poster said, the American Cancer Society already found that any studies claiming that circumcision reduces cancer are false. If it did European nations wouldn't have lower cancer rates. That and girls are now being vaccinated against cervical cancer, as I'm sure you've seen in the news (or a simple google search will reveal)

Anyways, I posted this in another question (so sorry if it's out of context), it should give you a few options as to what you're looking for.

Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).

And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.
