Hi i am new to the site. I'm hoping someone can tell me whats going on with me. When i pull down my foreskin, i find a sort of whitish pus on my penis. But it usually just comes off after i take a shower, and it doesn't come back if i shower daily. But i noticed if i do not wash my penis one day (had a lazy day didn't want to do anything) it comes back. Their is also a sort of smell too it i think. Also the sides of the head of my penis, are red at some parts and a little blue too. This is really worrying me, it hurts a bit when i touch it, and its been like this for a long time now. i dont know what to do. I've only had sex with one person in my life so far, and it was that persons first time too, and we were using protection. So i do not believe that it was from that. But im wondering if it might have something to do with masturbating? I remember when i first started masturbating it wasn't too bad, but after a couple times this started to happen. Is it possible that masturbating has something to do with my condition? Should i try any creams or things like that? Oh and also the head of my penis seems to have swelled up a bit. Someone help please. Thank you

Canadian Crook, humor is great but not really appropriate on the health forum. People come here to get answers, it's often very hard to tell others what's going on.

OP, you do need to see your doctor, we can only guess what's going on, we can't give you an accurate diagnosis.

Good luck.

the thing is that im under 18 and the only way i could probably get to the doctor is by my parents driving me.. and i do not want them to know about this. its embarrissing.

AHH! I knew you were going to say something like that!

Not that I am endorsing lying but perhaps you could tell them that you just want a check up? And do that.. get your regular check up but also mention your condition.

Note that it wouldn't hurt to talk to your parents about it, unless your religion goes against masturbation/ and or sex before marriage.

The thing is that we cannot give you a diagnosis. Even if we could, what if you needed medication in order to solve this problem? No one here could prescribe it for you.

A doctors visit is the only option.

This is a very important part of your body, do you really want to take chances with it? It could be something simple to clear up, but it could be something serious too. The longer you leave it the worse it could get.

Tell your parents that you noticed something going on with your penis the last time you showered. You don't have to tell them that you're having sex, or masturbating (if you are). Infections can happen.

Bottom line, doctor, asap, okay?
