Penis & Testicle Concerns / Question
Published: May 2, 2002
Dear TeenHealthFX,
I am only 12 years old, and now I think my penis is swelling. The skin is stuck halfway down on it. I don't know if it is just swelling or maybe something else.

Dear Penis Swelling?,
TeenHealthFX is not able to make a diagnosis without having all the information to investigate the nature of a condition or without a full examination of the problem area by a medical doctor. A good idea would be to visit your family doctor so that if there is something to take care of, he or she can provide you with the proper treatment, if necessary.
TeenHealthFX encourages you to have your penis examined by a doctor. If you do not have a doctor and live in Northern New Jersey, please call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at (973) 971.6475.
