The foreskin should be pulled back so that the head of the penis can be washed as soon as the boy can pull his foreskin back comfortably. The foreskin can not retract in young boys, and the age when a boy can pull his foreskin back varies widely. For some boys it might be as early at age 3 while for other it might be as late as age 12. Both are normal. Whenever the foreskin can be pulled back easily the boy should be taught to pull it back while taking his daily bath or shower and to wash the head of the penis with soap and warm water. Parents should never attempt to force a child or infant's foreskin back, as this can cause damage to the underlying structures of the penis. The foreskin gradually becomes loose during childhood, and the foreskin does not need to be cleaned until the boy himself can expose his penis head himself. For boys who are starting puberty and the foreskin is still tight, it is possible to gradually stretch the foreskin so it can be pulled back.

How do men clean their penises?

Keeping penis clean is very important. 1.) Gently pull the foreskin back. 2.) Rinse with warm water only. Soap under the foreskin can cause irritation and swelling. 3.) Pull the foreskin back in place over the head of your penis. Circumcised men can directly use warm water and soap and clean it carefully.

How do you treat a circumcised baby?

Never pull the infant's foreskin back. This can cause serious injury and tissue damage. Boys' foreskins will naturally retract on their own, which may be as late as the teenage years. The skin actually protects from dirt and bacteria. However, if the penis gets red or white stuff develops inside the foreskin, use a little bit of palmers coco butter.

You are 15 and you dont know if you should pull your forskin back you dont really know if you can?

Do pull it back. While it might seem that this would be a painful procedure, for reasons of health and sanitation, it needs to be done. The folds of skin surrounding the head of your penis trap shed dead skin and oil secretions. This can result in infections under the base of the head. So for sanitary reason, you need to pull the foreskin back at least once a day to clean it. It is not hard to do. Hold your penis near the head end and slide the skin back toward your body. The head of your penis will appear and then you gently wash around it. What will happen if you don't? Well, your foreskin can become too tight for sex, for one thing. The skin, like most other organs, can get accustomed to being a certain size, and it will be painful to have an erection. Simple cleaning every day will make sure that the skin is supple and will stretch easily for this function. Besides...no girl likes a smelly penis! It says that you are not clean and that you might have an infection that you can give her. Pull it back.
