Pulling back to treat balanitis… but every morning I wake up erectcausing pain..

[josh]

Hey all, I started trying out the pull back method yesterday to aid in treating balanitis.

The issue is, I wake up every morning erect, which causes pain with how tight the foreskin is.  I wake up erect needing to pee then it goes soft, but  I get back into bed with my wife and then cuddling makes me erect again haha, causing pain again.

I don't have pain when erect and the skin is forward usually. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what they did to manage it?

Hi Josh, I'm also a newbee here. I think tight band is one of those things that just requires time and stretching. Mine was a bit tight when I was a teen but it loosened up over time. You might try some kind of a ring to put light stretching force on it all day, if you search aliexpress for "phimosis" there are tons of products (some look useful, many which are totally not going to work). I would generally steer clear of the creams because anything with steroids should be avoided unless really necessary. Good luck.
