I've got this little red spot right where my foreskin ends and the head of my penis begins, and it's been giving me some pain when I touch it. Sometimes it seems to spread to other areas on the head. Its starting to worry me a bit. What do you think could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I've been dealing with para phimosis and it's causing pain during sex are there any non-surgical treatment options that actually work? I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to know if there's another way to manage this

circimcision is the better option.

I can't pull back my foreskin when I'm erect it hurts if I try to force it, but when it starts going back to flaccid, I can retract it easily since it doesn't feel tight then. Is there any way to fix this without needing surgery?

It sounds like you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight and can't be easily retracted. While surgery (circumcision) is an option, there are non-surgical treatments that can help

I have partial phimosis and I'm really worried about it can it be treated without needing surgery? What are my options and how effective are they? I'd prefer to avoid an operation if possible

Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.
