  4. Foreskin Retraction, Concern is this?

Foreskin Retraction,

2017-12-21 03:44:07
Hi I recently just retracted my entire foreskin back and realized there seems to be some sort of inflammation under the head of my penis that was causing the difficulties in pulling back my foreskin. How much of a health concern is this? It is certainly not attractive and I am wondering what I can do to fix it.
