Answer
There are a number of issues that can be effecting how "tight" your foreskin is and if it is sticking to your penis causing pain. I would suggest you seek medical attention to evaluate your problem. This kind of problem is very common and your general practitioner will be able to help you solve this problem. Usually teens are very embarrassed by these kinds of problems, please remember your doctor ONLY WANTS TO HELP YOU. No one will laugh, no one will make fun of you and we see this kind of problem often in a general practice.
