I'm 16, and been sexually active before.
However, there's always been a problem
with my foreskin retracting, there's a
little bubble-looking thing sitting just
north of the opening, that seems to be
attached to both my foreskin and my glans.
It means that when my foreskin gets pushed
back, it pulls on this bubble, causes
pain, and doesn't go any further.
This bubble's been here since I remember
starting to explore myself at about 14, so
it can't be an STD.
Anyone have any clues for me?

It's either phimosis or a large frenulum.
Get your doctor to check it out. It may be
easily healable.

This is a common problem for uncircumcised
men. Your frenulum is not long or elastic
enough to account for the stretching that
needs to happen when your foreskin is
pulled back. There are
ointments/stretching techniques or a minor
surgical procedure called a fenuloplasty
that can be done to help. Definitely talk
to your doctor about it, because there are
documented cases where sex can be painful
for men with this condition (frenulum
breve)

And what about the bubble-shaped growth?
I'm aware that it's possibly phimosis, but
that still doesn't explain the bubble.
Thanks for the replies so far.

I'm not certain what the bubble is. Has it
always been there? Does it hurt in any
way?

It's been there as long as I can
remember.
I believe it used to hurt to the touch,
but not lately. Only when the foreskin is
trying to roll back.

You dont mean the head of your penis do
you? Or is it like a pimple or cyst sort
of growth?

It could just be a result of the
stretching that goes on... or it could be
a cyst or growth. THe best way is to not
guess, but to see a doctor.

It's not the head of my penis, I know
enough to know that.
Was sexually involved with a girl the
other night, and I made some discoveries.
It still hurts like hell when the foreskin
rolls back, it can expose the head, but
the bubble is not attached to the
foreskin.
It makes sex kinda hard when there's pain
in every movement, but I'm slightly
embarrassed to go to a doctor.
Would I have to find a different doctor,
or would a GP suffice?
