Hi,

Thanks your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns. Since it was your first time , I advice you to use lubricant like KY Jelly next time. If the same problem persists, please get the foreskin examined by a surgeon if there is infection. Infection can be treated. If not infection, it will be phimosis, a condition in which extra skin grows at tip of penis. It would need circumcision.
