Thanks for taking the time to write in. I'm afraid there's not much I can say in this forum except to see your doctor or a urologist. Only by examining your penis and foreskin firsthand can a determination be made about what is causing this. The reasons can theoretically range from the very simple to the very serious. Please consult with a doctor. I would also recommend doing it soon since it is interfering with your having a relationship. Good luck and be well. Larry Siegel
