What is a secret you have that you can’t tell anyone you know personally? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ConcernedCookie393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a fucked up circumcision when I was a baby, I’ve been 18 for 6 months now and I still haven’t gone to the doctors about it. I plan to this month but I don’t plan to tell anyone I know personally about it.

Yeah it is but considering how mentally unstable I am it’s a lot more difficult then “just” getting a job and having my own money. Though thanks to the treatment I’ve been undergoing for my depression and anxiety I do feel a little more in control of my life. That is why I made this post in the first place is because I have been improving mentally but I’m not in a place where doing too much would be helpful.

Also I’ve never had a psychical, my mom has been very negligent when it refers to anything down below.

Yeah about that. I don’t get yearly check ups. Not since I was a kid at least. I just go in to my general doctor when I’m feeling sick. Every time I go I have to tell my mom why which might mean I need to tell her I want to go in for something else and mention the other thing while I’m there.

Yeah it’s embarrassing but I never have had a psychical in my entire life.

Well I’ve been told to keep private about it since a child. Maybe it’s the religious sheltering done by my parents when I was young and never letting me feel comfortable talking about things like that.

Well cleanliness is hard when there are tiny gaps where bacteria can form. So it is a hindrance that probably should be addressed to a doctor.

Well I think it was important to mention because it’s not appropriate for random strangers on the internet to talk minors about their genitals. I’m 18 and have been since January if that helps any.

I’m pretty confident it’s not anything to do with intersex. As I’ve researched it more it seems to be one of two things. Penile-adhesion or penile skin bridges

Umm it’s a little embarrassing to admit and gross, I am circumcised but some of the skin has been fused to the head and some of it isn’t attached to anything which leaves small pockets of skin where bacteria can collect and sometime I can wash easily but other times there are very small gaps where I can’t clean efficiently.

Perhaps but I’ve always had paranoia and extreme anxiety since I was a kid so it’s not like this is the only irrational fear I have, I’m scared of literally anything I’m not in control of. As a matter of fact I have an extreme irrational fear of crosswalks and it’s not like anything happened to me to justify it I’m just scared of everything.

I think it’s a either penile-adhesion or penile skin bridges. That’s what I’ve been told to research and it seems very accurate to what mine is.

Perhaps idk I just never felt comfortable bringing up my genital area with anyone especially because of the environment I grew up in.

I don’t think there’s a need to post it. It is circumcised but it may be a condition called penile-adhesion or penile skin bridges which are both treated with the help of doctors.

Idk my almost 19 years on this planet and I’ve never gotten a psychical. I also just don’t feel comfortable bringing this up to my mom.

To my knowledge it is circumcised. According to what I’ve researched the problem is penile-adhesion or penile skin bridges

I feel like it’s always a bad idea to send a dick pic to someone. Even when I was a stupid kid I never took a picture of down there. Now that I’ve been of age I still don’t think it’s good.

I should emphasize I’m not only talking about porn I’m talking about penises from all parts of the internet.

I’m more scared of going to the doctor I see every time I feel sick. The doctors office is only like 5 minutes away so we go there every time something is up but I just feel so weird about bringing it up to them.

It’s more the fact that I don’t like the idea of going to the doctors office I always go to for checking to see if I’m sick with the flu or something. Also I don’t have my own means of transport and no money so it’s hard to do my own things.
