Dear TeenHealthFX,
I have split my foreskin during sex and need advice. What should I do?

Dear Torn Foreskin,
TeenHealthFX recommends that you seek medical attention for your torn foreskin. Only a physician can give you a diagnosis and recommend proper treatment for your problem. While it may be difficult to talk to someone about your body, it is important that you approach the subject with your parent's or another trusted adult.
Because you mentioned that you are sexually active, FX wants to remind you of the importance of practicing safer sex.
If you do not have a doctor, and live in Northern New Jersey, you can contact the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973.971.6475.
