Answers:
What you are talking about is very common, and you should talk to your doctor about it. But DO NOT get circumcised! That is very painful when it is done later in life. Besides, your foreskin is there for a reason, to protect you. Circumcision is no longer recommended by the AAP because it is now known that it is unnecessary, exept in very extreme conditions. If your doctor advises you to get circumcised, get a second opinion. My ex had this problem in his teens, and he was able to gradually stretch the skin so his foreskin was able to go back. At first, it was painful, but now he's fine. You can get infections under there if you can't clean properly, so it's very important to get this corrected.

Very common problem. You might need to be circumcised. Check it out with your doctor.
hmmm.....

is circumcision an option.....?

it's hygenic and you will never have problems like what your facing now.

Good luck and peace.
probably wont be even an issue when you get older. but talk to your doc about it anyways.

your penis can keep growing even into your 20's, you describe yourself as very young so i doubt that its stopped
If you're still in your early teens, chances are you're still growing there.

If you're past your twenties and still have issues with tight foreskin, you might have phimosis.
There are various treatments for phimosis ranging from non-surgical topical steroid creams to help it stretch out gradually to surgery to get the foreskin circumcised.
Well, if it's not causing you serous pain or irritation then you probably won't need a circumcision. You can just stretch the opening of your foreskin as far as it'll go without pain for a bit everyday for a few weeks. That should solve the problem. Your doctor might be able to help, as I know creams that help exist.
dude, i had the same problem when i was 18, so doc advised me to circumcise, so i did....and its fine now. Its not tat painful, now with moern technolgy, its much easier and faster....do consider getting circumcised and i feel better after that and its easy to maintain for health purposes...
