I'm really concerned because it seems like the skin on my penis is growing and closing over the top. There are also a few cuts, and the skin doesnt move down like it used to, which is making things really uncomfortable. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight and cannot be fully retracted over the head of the penis. This can lead to cuts and difficulty retracting the foreskin. I recommend using a topical steroid cream such as Betamethasone 0.05% to help reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the tight area twice a day for several weeks. If the condition does not improve or if you experience worsening symptoms, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

View allMy foreskin feels really tight when I get an erection and it's causing discomfort. I don't have issues when I'm not erect, but during arousal, it gets too tight. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.
Topical steroid creams and stretching exercises may help phimosis; consult a urologist before considering circumcision.

I've noticed that sometimes when I'm running or working out, I get a bit of pre-cum leaking. I'm a 23-year-old guy and it's not happening every time, but still enough to make me concerned. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about this?
The pre-cum leakage during running or workout is likely due to increased blood flow and physical stimulation, which can cause involuntary seminal emissions; consider wearing snug-fitting underwear or athletic supporters to reduce friction and pressure, and if the issue persists, consult a urologist or healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions like overactive bladder or prostate issues.

How often should a man release sperm?
Sperm that aren't ejaculated simply get reabsorbed into your body, so there is no time limitation
