My foreskin started hurting two weeks ago when I have erections

Last updated on September 17, 2020

Question:

Hey,

I’ve been experiencing this for over a week now. I am not able to bring my foreskin back when my penis is erect. If I try to do that, it hurts a lot and the skin on one side becomes a bit red. When not erect it does come down, but then it also hurts if it is stretched. This never used to happen two weeks before. I can see a few old dead skin coming off from the side that is not able to stretch.

Please help. 

Answer:

Most likely you have an infection in your foreskin. The best thing to do is see either your family doctor or a urologist about the problem.

Response:

Thank you, sir, for your help.
