I've been having some trouble down there lately and it's starting to worry me. I've got these cuts on the inner joints of my penis, and it's making it really tough to pull back the skin. There's this big scar that's sometimes bleeding, and each time I pull the skin back, this white stuff builds up and I have to wash it away. This has been going on for about four days now. I've tried using Candid B cream, but it hasn't helped at all. I'm married, and I haven't had any unsafe sexual encounters. Interestingly, my wife's been dealing with some vaginal itching too, but she's fine now after using Candid B. Could you shed some light on what's happening with me?

my foreskin doesn't pull back and it's really uncomfortable should i get surgery for this and how much would it cost

If your foreskin doesn't pull back and is causing discomfort, it could be phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. While some cases of phimosis resolve on their own, surgery might be necessary if conservative treatments don't work. The cost of surgery can vary depending on the procedure and your location, but you can expect to pay between ‚Çπ5,000 and ‚Çπ35,000 in India

I'm a 25-year-old guy with tight foreskin that hurts when I pull it back. Surgery isn't something I want to consider right now are there other ways to manage this?

Topical steroid creams and gentle stretching may help phimosis and frenulum breve; surgery like preputioplasty is minor and effective if needed.

I've been feeling a burning sensation when I pee, and it's there even when I'm not using the bathroom. I keep feeling like I need to go all the time. This has been going on for the past couple of days. What could be causing this?

You may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Nitrofurantoin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine to help relieve the burning sensation during urination. Remember to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.
