>I hope someone can help me out. I'm a 20 years old male with a tight foreskin problem. I open my foreskin on my erected penis once and it RIP open causing DREADFUL SUPER pain. After that time i start to do streching and finally able to retract it without pain for once when my penis is not erected. but it is still tightly and unretractable when erected. so my 3 questions is...
>1) when i shower it is loose and i feel i can retract it when it is not erected. but when i reach half way down exposing half of the head. i feel scare and i feel if i pull it all the way down.. i will get this feeling of the skin 'flipping' or paraphimosis... is there any way to get rid of this fear? does anyone feel the same??
Well, I've never had the feeling because I've never had tightness. But the way to get over the fear is to cure the tightness. As I commented to JPS just below, it's like learning to do the 'splits' - the structures have to grow to allow the maneuver. They can and will, but it takes regular and frequent efforts to achieve reasonably quickly. Ralesk has some links below to pictures of the most effective stretching techniques.>2) since the skin is too tight to be retracted when my penis is erected. will it be a good idea to try first retract my foreskin when penis is small/not erected. then masturbate the penis to grow bigger which force the foreskin to expand behind the glans. or will this cause super pain or paraphimosis?...
This sounds painful at this stage, and pain can be discouraging. Follow Ralesk's links for better techniques.
>3) i haven't use the cream yet... is it true that after using it i can put the skin back LOOSELY and comfortablely even when penis is large and erected???
A page or two ago I cited to a reference to a medical study in which Betamethasone cream alone was used, achieving successful easy retraction and mobility in over 80% of the cases. Someone else pointed out that the various erections during the day and night may have been doing the stretching to assist the cream. If you're going to use the cream, you may as well do the hand stretching as well and make success all that much more likely. By the way, in using the cream, it's like applying varnish - you just need to put a thin coat on the surfaces needing it.
>thanks very very much... hope anyone can help me
I hope it helps.
