I've been dealing with this issue and could really use some guidance. In my younger days, I masturbated a lot, often without lubricant or sometimes using soap. Now, the head of my penis is really dry, and if I dont put on moisturizer twice a day, it ends up burning a lot. What can I do about this? Is there something else I should be using or looking into?

View allI've got phimosis and talked to a urologist who suggested going through with a circumcision. I'm really scared of surgeries and was hoping for another way to treat it. He mentioned that the situation is quite tight, so I'm wondering if there's a different approach. Also, do adults get stitches after circumcision? How long would I need to stay in bed, and how many days will it take for everything to heal completely?
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, if the phimosis is severe and cannot be resolved with other treatments, circumcision is often the recommended option. Yes, stitches are typically used in adult circumcision, and most people need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time, with complete healing taking around 4-6 weeks. Its important to follow your doctor's aftercare advice for the best outcome.

I'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about something that happened yesterday. After I masturbated and ejaculated, my penis went numb and shrank. The foreskin got really loose, and it feels super short and cold now. I can't quite feel it right, and I'm also feeling really dizzy and depressed. I'm attaching a picture of my penis for you to check. Is there something wrong, and can it be fixed? Please let me know what's happening and what I should do.
Dont worry. It looks normal. Vigorous masturbation can cause pain and numbness just like if you rub your skin very roughly. It will get better on its own
