thats called the frenulum, yes it can tear. also it can heall make sure you leave it alone and you dont force it anymore than it should be. and you will be fine.\n\nYou could try some neosporin or something to make it heal faster.

You must get to a Doctor and have them checked.  You definately need something to help with the wound healing.  Anytime you have cuts that are open are a red flag for infection.  It most likely will not be anything too serious that can't be fixed with proper care given.  As you asked, indeed it may be a nutrition item.

I'm not going to ask you how you got your cut, because, you've already told me.  Anyways, the nurse in me needs to tell you that you should seek medical attention, for a couple of reasons.  The cut could get seriously infected, and you need someone to talk to about why you feel the need to hurt yourself, or the fact that someone else hurt you.\n\nAs for the cut itself.  It is extremely important that it stay clean. The edges of the cut need to stay together in order to heal.  If there are no stitches there will be a scar.  The continuous blood suggests a large deep wound.  If the surrounding skin is turning pink or red, and is warm to the touch  you must get help as this is  called cellulitis and can lead to blood poisoning.  This is when the wound gets infected and the bacteria enters the skin, and then the bloodstream.  This can be fatal.\n\nA cut this size and this deep really isn't something to hiding.  Please try to get someone to help you get some medical attention.\n\nI know that you are probably scared, but I'm sure that there is someone that you can trust.  If you are afraid that the ER will ask too many questions, then go to an urgent care center.  Come up with a plausible story, or another name for that matter. But for heavens sake, get someone to sew up the wound so you can heal the wound.  Good luck and God speed!

Believe it or not, this happens a lot.  The foreskin, in your case, is not as "elasticized" as it could be.  For most guys, the foreskin stretches well enough that it allows the penis head to come out... but on some this is not the case.  \n\nOne way to overcome this is to "work" the foreskin, now and then [NOT to the point of discomfurt or hurt - but before that], over the penis to "stretch" it and get the elasticity you want.  Using a good handcream that "moisturizes" will help in your effort.  I'm not saying masturbate, but actually take the time now and then to stretch the foreskin carefully.  You can also stretch it with your fingers [kind of like a balloon end when you want to make it "squeal"...], pulling the skin in opposite directions.\n\nIn any case - do take it easy, and stop if it becomes irritated or uncomfortable.  This will take some time, but ultimately, you should see some success.\n\nIF you do not, you can see your family doctor about it...just broach the subject by saying you are having a "male issue" that you need some doctor advice over...he will understand, trust me.  He is there to help you, not embarrass you.\n\nGood luck man...

Yikes, leave it alone! You're are all natural and good. What if the operation gets botched?? Think of the amount of time you would have to do without masturbation and sex.\nBesides a foreskin helps for penetration and protects you from becoming desensitised. Have more sex and you'll soon realise it really doesn't make a lick of difference to your partner if you are or not.

If you have a problem with cutting yourself, I would reccomend seeing a tharipist or shrink.  There may be some in your area.  Look under Mental Health in your phone book.

Clean the wound out thoroughly, and I mean CLEAN. Get in there, scrub out the wound.\n\nOnce the wound is clean, apply a liberal amount of antiseptic cream, something like Neosporin. Then cover the wound with a non-stick gauze dressing. Tape it in place, or cover it with elastic netting that you can get at your local surgical supply store. Clean and redress the wound 2-3 times a day.\n\n-or-\n\nOnce the wound is clean, apply the neosporin and cover the wound with Tegaderm. It's a unique sort of dressing that completely seals off the wound, yet allows it to breathe. If applied correctly, you can go for days without changing the bandage (and you can even take a shower with it on).\n\nOnce your wound has completely healed, you can use vitamin b gel to help minimize the scarring.

Being circumcised means removeal of the forskin. It is usually done at birth. In the Bible it was a form of Covenant between God and His children. It most likely has it's good reasons as well as bad ones. Easier to keep clean, but maybe less sensitive because the forskin is a protective covering. With the forskin you must be sure not to leave any soap or you may be one unhappy camper if you scratch the blood out of yourself in your sleep. I think in this day and time it is a matter of preference. If you are 19 and have had no problem, my advice would be, If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Since I am a female this may be considered wrong advice but I am a Mom and I am answering you just as if you were my own son asking me. Did your Mom not talk to you about this when you asked questions or your Dad? Maybe they were embarrased, but they should have told you or at least let your family doctor explain about it. By the way I have a son, he is circumcised just like his dad was.Oh yes, Christ was circumcised just as all Jewish males were. And I have heard(though I can't speak from first hand knowledge) it is painful for a baby boy and more so for an adult. Best to ask a doctor on that. It seems I read somewhere that keeping the foreskin makes a man more likely to get cancer, but I might be wrong on that point...again talk to a doctor. I hope you and others will find my advice sound and full of good judgement.

Start by washing your hands with salted water to clean the cuts and then rub on a good cream which is recommended for minor burns. This sort of cream works best for healing wounds.

You should wash under your foreskin everytime you take a shower/bath.  Hopefully you take a shower/bath everyday...

Dear Itsin ....\n\nYou are fortunate to have an uncircumcised penis.\n\nThis extra skin is called the "foreskin".\n\nNature put the foreskin there to protect the sensitive head.  This protection keeps the head sensitive so that sex is very pleasurable.  \n\nThe foreskin also prevents anything from touching the head and arousing you unintentionally.\n\nIt is a brilliant piece of engineering by nature.\n\nIt is important to clean underneath the foreskin, just like it's important to wash your body in other places.\n\nI recommend that the foreskin be kept, unless there is a clear health risk.\n\nYou are fine like you are.

Your doctor seems very in a harry to suggest circumcision (keep in mind that some doctors benefit from circumcision in monetary terms) \nDid you go to a dermatologist (someone with a specialty not just your family doctor) your problem appears to be needing treatment probably with some kind of steroid ointment. A good doctor would know better! \nDon't expect to get a diagnosis at the Internet. Just visit another doctor

your foreskin is not the culprit here so those who suggest circumcision as the only cure really have no understanding of the male penis or how it is designed to operate. They think because they live in the USA where most guys are circumcised that foreskin is supposed to be cut off. Yet in the world as a whole circumcised males are the minority and foreskin rules!\n\nOkay as to your problem. If you are being a bit too rough in your sexual activity that can cause the symptoms you describe ion any penis. So, first thign to learn is how to have sex by being gentle and caring rather tthan just rushing in headfirst and banging away until you ejaculate. \n\nAlso, if your foreskin is a little tight, it is possible that yoru glans'head is a bit sensitive from never getting out in the world. If you cannot retract it easily for cleaning, then you need to work at stretchign it out some so it will easily retract and return. And once it retracts easily make sure you give your penis and it's head and under it's foreskin a thorough cleaning every day and after any sport or other activity that gets you all hot and sweaty.\n\nAs well, you should be using a condom during any form of penetration sex. While you may not be worried about any majoy STI's, there are lots of minor ones that can be just as embarassing to have to take to a doctor. As well, one always has to consider the risk of pregnancy if your sex is with a female. In addition, the condom and use of lubricant on the outside of it can reduce the friction that is probably par tof the cause of your soreness, etc.\n\nTo put on a condom, retract your foreskin and let any excess kind of bunch up behind the head. Then unroll the condom down the penis allowing the condom to hold your extra skin in place behind the head.  Then lube up and have fun but gently please; no one needs to feel like they are being entered by a battering ram.\n\nPS, i too am intact and have never had a problem when I wore a condom, used lube on it and played with due care and consideration for my partner. Though I must admit a time or two I was pretty rough on it when masturbating and can definitely understand your problem.

It will rip off the scab when u pull it off. Buy rolls of gauze and wrap it around all of them. I used to cut too. U can beat it.

you should talk to him more. Is he your first uncut bf?. \nit all varies as far as uncut men having more feelings than cut. Those that have a tight foreskin actually feel more pain than pleasure, Ive never heard of a cut guy complaining, Ive only heard a few uncut guys complain, cuz of tight foreskin or being too sensitive. Now if you can tollerate the sensitivity you should be just dandy, ABout him losing his errection I wouldnt worry about it, In porno's ive seen. The guy isnt always completely hard even a friend or two has had the same issue. Something could be distracting him to cause the loss of errection.
