Tip of foreskin is swollen help!?
About a year now I've notices the tip of my foreskin is swollen. I am 16 and I can't retract my foreskin and I tho m it is because of this! When I roll it back there are a few foredyce spots but the head doesn't fully retract. How can I treat it?:(

The foreskin is going through a growth stage, the same as the rest of the genitals.
This is really normal in a young teenage man. The Foredyce spots have nothing to do with the present non-retractability.
There is nothing wrong with you that some simple foreskin stretches cannot solve.
You have a naturally tight foreskin, just like every other intact (not circumcised) man on the planet had at your age.
Over 85% of the males on earth are intact so you are on the winning side. The other 15% are envious and wish they still were intact.
Follow the information in the links below and work the foreskin stretches into the daily shower routine.
Let the warm water loosen and relax the skin before stretching.
Stretches are to be firm, but gentle, with no pain. Pain is a damage indicator. Over stretching till it hurts can create micro tears in the skin opening that will heal over with non elastic scar tissue, making retraction more difficult. No pain,...ever.
What will happen is the Frenar Band (google it) of muscle that closes down the skin opening will relax and expand enough to allow the foreskin to glide effortlessly back and forth over the coronal rim of the glans.
You should see some good results in two weeks, with full and painless retraction in 3-4 months. If it takes longer just keep stretching.
Do not listen to anyone who claims you need to force the skin back to clean under there. Nature has this well in hand. The foreskin/glans combination produce a powerful anti microbial compound called Langerin. Langerin wards off bacteria and keeps this area clean and disease free.....just like you are now.
Go to: www.norm.org and read about the reason and function of the foreskin. You will see how very fortunate you are to still have yours, and how misguided are those who promote circumcision for any reason.
Good luck and I hope this helped.

You should probably go to the doctor. It sounds like your penis is growing faster than your foreskin. Congratulations! However, you should go to a doctor. If not taken care of it could get a lot more painful.
