I had a boil on my penile shaft and I popped it, but I'm still feeling pain there. Now there's also another pain that started just above the penis on the right side near the bladder area. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on?

After popping a boil on your penile shaft, persistent pain, along with new pain near the urinary bladder area, may indicate a potential infection, abscess, or inflammation of the surrounding tissues; it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist promptly to assess the situation, as untreated infections can lead to more severe complications, such as cellulitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis; expect a physical examination, potentially followed by diagnostic tests like urine analysis, ultrasound, or imaging studies to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

I have type 2 partial retraction where I can pull the foreskin back a bit but it won't go past the head of my penis and I also have a tight frenulum is there any way to fix this without getting circumcision

Topical steroid creams and frenulum-stretching techniques may help. Circumcision is only needed if it interferes with function or causes tears.
