As an answer to: Foreskin trouble written by Anon at 22 Feb 2004 21:08:18:
Hygiene is an important issue and there are ways to work around that. However, at some stage you will need to address the cause (the tight foreskin). There are several ways to go about resolving the problem, but I would strongly suggest that you first speak to your parents. Sure, it's embarrassing, but they'll be able to help you sort through all the option with which you'll be presented. Also, it could be a good idea to see your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis about the problem. Suggestions that you should start stretching the foreskin are perhaps premature if the problem is with the frenulum (that's the bit underneath) and stretching the foreskin will not help that.
Good luck.
