I'm dealing with some itching and redness on the head of my penis, and it really hurts when I pull back the foreskin. I'm not considering circumcision, but I'm unsure if I should see a dermatologist or a urologist for this. What would you recommend?

I'm wondering about how often it's okay to masturbate. I've been doing it three times a day and I'm not sure if that's too much or if it's alright. Is it healthy to keep up this frequency?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

My 5th grader has phimosis where the skin almost fully covers the head and won't pull back but he can still pee normally. Is surgery or laser treatment the only option or are there other ways to manage this without going that route?

circumcision is advised.
