Hi, I just signed up and I have a major
problem. I'm 18 years old and throughout
pretty much my whole teen life I've had
very bad penis problems. I'm blaming this
on the fact that I had no father figure to
guide me through the necessary penis
issues.
Here are and were my problems:
1. My main issue is smell. Something like
a fishy smell. I have it throughout the
day, and when I get a shower, pretty much
the minute I get out I can still smell
it.
2. A very sensitive head. I'm not sure if
this is normal for every guy or not, but
when I turned 12 or 13, I couldn't even
touch it without it throbbing with pain.
Recently, the more I fool around with it
and touch it more, the sensitivity goes
away. But it's still there, only when my
foreskin is pulled back. But when I got
out of the shower recently today, I said
to myself "the hell with this, I'm sick of
this feeling I'm just going to go ahead
and try rubbing it and drive through the
pain." It worked, and the pain wasn't as
bad, but it still felt a bit weird.
3. I recently realized buildup of
smegma(sp?) and I've been cleaning it up
pretty well. There is barely any if not
none completely. But I still get that
smell from it.
4. Before the last couple of years, I
found it extremely hard to pull my
foreskin past my head. Only the past 2
years I started doing it. It's very easy
now, and it doesn't bother me. But I'm
thinking not pulling it back up until the
past few years caused some problems.
5. The start of my head, not the tip, but
when it starts, is sort of a purplish
color. It has no pain, but it looks
completely different from the other parts
of the head.
It's like no matter how much I clean it,
play with it, rub it, I still have
sensitivity(not as much as when I was
younger) and a very bad odor. And I'm very
embarrassed to go to the doctor because
I'm only 18 years old and get nervous
about those things. Here are my
questions:
1. Is penis-head sensitivity normal for an
uncircumsized penis?
2. Why is this odor not going away even
when the second I step out of the shower
after cleaning?
3. Is there creams out there that can
resolve the odor problem that it seems
like a lot of men have?
4. Is the purplish area on my penis
normal?
Thanks guys, and gals, for the advice. I
really need help here!

go see a doctor. none of this really
seems normal. i was talking it over with
my boyfriend and he said that none of this
seems typical. we think you may have an
infection. make sure that you wash the
whole area down there very well, try using
body wash instead of bar soap, it can get
in all the "crevices". don't be
embarrassed, you never know if it could be
something serious that is better to be
treated sooner than later.

I would recommend seeing a doctor. Just
regarding the smell and discoloration.
Though a purple head is normal it would be
good to get yourself checked out to see if
anything can be done.... have you tried
lubrication when stimulating the head?
That might ease the pain you feel. The
head of the penis in general doesn't like
too much friction.
Don't be embarrassed to see a doctor.
Seriously, it's part of their job to look
at penises and find out there's anything
wrong. There's absolutely nothing to be
embarrassed about!!
