What is the ultimate treatment for the enlargement of the foreskin which hides the head of the penis?

Why do some men have skin over there penis?

Do you mean why do men retract their foreskins and expose the end (the glans) of their penis? This generally occurs all by itself when the penis is erect, as the normally loose foreskin is stretched tight when the penis stiffens and extends in length. Many guys also retract the foreskin by hand when they urinate because it reduces the likelyhood of their urine splashing around, it also avoids trapping urine droplets under the foreskin. All guys should retract their foreskin when bathing or showering to ensure that they wash their penis properly and thus avoid unpleasant smells and infections.

What is partial circumcision?

Partial circumcision removes only part of the foreskin. Partial foreskin may be used to treat phimosis (a tight foreskin) that does not respond to gradual stretching exercises with a corticosteroid cream. Instead of removing the entire foreskin, partial circumcision only removes the tight phimotic ring that prevents the foreskin from being retracted. Many men with phimosis prefer partial circumcision to complete circumcision as it retains most of the foreskin, which functions in several ways to increase pleasure during sexual activity.

You are 14 when fully erect you can pul your foreskin over the head of your penis but not down the shaft as your foreskin seems to be fused to the head of your penis?

The answer is simple. Your foreskin is fused to the head of your penis, and that is why it can be stretched of your head. some teens, are circumcised (for, say, religious reasons) so they don't have foreskins. You can be circumcised as a baby for the aforementioned reason, or if an ailment requires the removal of the foreskin

What could happen if a boy's penile foreskin is forced back too early?

The foreskin of an uncircumsized newborn should NEVER be pulled back; it is a myth and it is dangerous to do this. It should never be forced back by a parent, no matter what the reason the parent has. Keep your hands off of it. Tissues of the glans penis and of the covering foreskin are not yet differentiated, and the foreskin should be left alone. Some physicians consider that an unretracted foreskin can be normal and non-problematic even as late as puberty. Yes, there can be problems with the foreskin, but pathological phimosis (a medically problematic unretractable foreskin) is virtually NEVER a competent diagnosis at birth.AnswerThe foreskin does not retract at birth. Forcing it back at this age can cause tearing and scarring meaning it will be difficult to retract in the future.
