Why is the head of my penis so dry? I'm having trouble pulling the back skin upwards after rolling it down, though that part is easy. Plus, the ring of my penis is turning more red and patchy. What's going on with that?

Use an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole 1% cream twice a day on the affected area for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding irritants such as harsh soaps or perfumed products, can help with healing. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm dealing with some issues with my foreskin and I'm not really sure who the right doctor is to talk to about it. Should I be looking to see a dermatologist, a urologist, or maybe even a sexologist? I'm feeling a bit uncertain and could really use some advice on who might be the best specialist to consult for this kind of problem.

For foreskin problems, it's best to consult a urologist. They specialize in issues related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including foreskin concerns. If there are skin-related issues, a dermatologist may also be helpful. A sexologist is more suited for concerns related to sexual health and performance.

I'm 21 and have been masturbating since I was 16, but didn't know the foreskin was retractable until recently. Now when I do it, I pull my skin back to the ridge, but I've never really been able to ejaculate fullyit just sort of dribbles out. Also, I've noticed my penis has a slight left bend from the base when erect. I think that might be due to how I wore pants as a kid. Is there a way to actually shoot sperm, or is there something wrong with what I'm doing?

You may have a condition called phimosis, which is when the foreskin is tight and cannot be fully retracted. This can sometimes affect ejaculation. I recommend you try using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone to help loosen the foreskin. As for the slight curvature of your penis, it is likely not related to your pant wearing style and is quite common. To improve your chances of ejaculating, you can try using medications like Sildenafil before sexual activity. If these issues persist, it would be best to consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I've been having nocturnal emissions every single night for the past three days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about something more serious going on? It just seems so constant right now.
