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?

I've noticed these small blisters on my penis and I'm not sure if I should see a dermatologist or a specialist who deals with sexual health. It's been going on for about 23 weeks now and I'm quite concerned about how serious this might be. Any advice on what I should do?

I've been dealing with cuts on my foreskin for about a week now, and they're just not healing no matter what I try. Ive used boroline, candid b, dermikem oc creams, and even took some antibiotics, but nothing's working. It's like they start to heal, but then when I pee or pull the skin back, it gets painful again. It's really embarrassing to think about going to a doctor for this. I did feel a bit of relief after using coconut oil to clean it. Can you suggest any good treatments or medicine to try?

see a dermatologist..
