There are two questions here, so I'll address them one at a time. Phimosis (a tight foreskin) can be caused by having a foreskin that is too tight to be pulled back, a foreskin that is connected to the glans, or a combination of both. The initial treatment for both is the application of a corticosteriod cream (betamethasone 0.05%, available from your doctor by prescription) to the part of the foreskin that is preventing retraction. Since you have connections to the glans, you'll need to apply the cream inside the foreskin directly against the connections. Combined with gentle stretching, this can often resolve the problem in as little as a month, although 2 or 3 months is more likely in the case of connections. Connections between the glans and foreskin can either be left over from infancy when they are normal, or they can grow if the foreskin can not be pulled back so the glans can be washed. The accumulation of debris causes inflammation, which causes the skin of the glans and skin of the foreskin to fuse. To prevent this, once a boy can retract his foreskin (usually by age 4), he should wash the glans daily in the bath or shower with soap and warm water. Once you are able to get your foreskin retracted, daily washing of the glans becomes especially important to prevent the problem from recurring. As for little spots on your foreskin, these could be completely normal, especially if they have always been there. However, if they haven't always been there, are raised, inflammed, pink or red, or painful you should see a doctor. This could be some type of skin disease or sexually transmitted infection.

What is a long foreskin?

By examination of the word 'long' one would assume the question is referring to a foreskin greater than average. Average foreskin covers the glans of the penis completely when soft. When erect average foreskin typically slides back and exposes some if not all of the glans. If a man has 'long' foreskin, by description alone it suggests that the foreskin is of a greater/longer amount than average. Some men with longer foreskins can have an erection with no exposure of the glans. In other cases the foreskin can be long enough to cover the glans during erection with excess at the tip. Typically the position of the foreskin is dependant upon the elasticity and size of the frenum, which attatches the foreskin to the underside of the glans. The more flexible and abundant the frenum is, the more likely the foreskin is able to slide up and down.

There is no foreskin around your urethra. In the male the urethra finishes at the ending of the glans of the penis. If your foreskin starts to bleed then you have obviously damaged it somehow and if you dont know hoe it happened you should see a doctor about it.


Does the foreskins supose to go behind the nob?

Normally the foreskin is supposed to lay on top of the glans (nob), but it should be easily retractable. It is retracted in order to clean under it, and to have sex, but otherwise it should remain over the glans. If a foreskin remains retracted too long, it can cause reduced blood flow to the tip of the penis which may cause tissue damage or even tissue death.


Is there something wrong if you are a 12 year old boy and you can't get your glans over your foreskin?

You may need a circumcision if you have a tight foreskin. Do not force it out as this could be very painful and damaging. If you have tried gently moving the foreskin back n forth and it will not freely go over the glans then ask to see your doctor who will be best to advise you.

You are fourteen and you have a normal sized penis but have only seen the tip of your glans is this normal?

If you cannot retract the foreskin by the age of 14, that is not normal. It could be a condition called phimosis and you should see your doctor to see how to get it corrected. When you are uncircumcised, a cheezy substance builds up between your foreskin and the glans of your penis called smegma. If not washed out properly it can lead to penile cancer.

What is meant by circumcised?

When a male person is born he has a protective covering that stretches over the glans or tip if you like of the penis, This is referred to as the foreskin. People who are not confident that they are able to teach a proper regimen of hygiene think it is a good idea to remove this protective skin. to justify this barbaric custom they have attached religious meaning to it however the removal of the foreskin ultimately causes damage to the glans of the penis and should only be carried out for medical reasons.
