I didn’t really have phimosis as a kid or anything I’ve always been able to retract, even now I can it’s just painful because of skin cracks. I somehow developed it around 15 years old. It was on and off very mild and very occasional I would get cracks in the foreskin, id keep it moisturized and it would go away. I’m 21 now and I got a yeast infection about 6 months ago and it hasn’t gone away since. It gets better and worse but never healed enough and I’m losing hope. It doesn’t sound like a normal case where I can stretch and it will get better because I always have cracks in the foreskin. If I always have cracks isn’t it just going to heal tighter? Has anyone experienced this? Do I just need to be more patient and not touch it for a while before trying stretching? I’ve been to numerous doctors and they all tell me to get circumcised without a second thought. Im terrified of that and it’s very disheartening to hear. I never really stopped masturbating or having sex I just wait till the cracks are gone but they always come right back. Should I stop sexual activity? I guess my main question is is my foreskin damaged beyond repair or do I still have hope? If anyone has a case similar to mine id love to hear it.
