 PS: I remember when I was your age and I had to go to the doctor. I didn't want to go with my mother, I wanted to go alone. I told my best friend my problem and they came with me instead.
Tell your friend/cousin/brother or someone you feel comfortable with, to come to the doctors with you, because you could do with some company.
In the UK, you can see a doctor on your own from the age of about 14. They will keep everything private and confidential and will not tell your mother.

18, your nearly an adult, no need to tell your mother anything. You can make an appointment to see your own doctor, or you can go to the family planning clinic.... Any of the doctors or nurses working in the NHS will be happy to see you. They don't see enough young men, so will treat you as special as a king.
Go see your doctor and put your mind at rest.
The skin can be removed if it is causing pain or may lead to infection. You are nearly a grown man, much to old to hide away because your too shy to go to the doctor. You are grown up, act like an adult and go get your penis sorted out. You'll feel strong, brave and confident if you gain enough courage to do this, you'll feel like a fool if you don't.

 you don't have to mention it to your mum, you're 16 or over so you can make and attend the doctors appointment by yourself. if (and don't worry this is not the norm) you are asked by the doctors receptionist as to why you want the appointment you do NOT have to tell them, if they press you for an answer just say 'personal' and they will have to stop at that. doctors see all kinds of things, get asked all kinds of questions all the time, so don't feel as if they will think your being silly ok?

hi
has it been like this all your life or is it something you have noticed more recently? at the risk of being boring, am gonna say it anyway.. go to the doctor! :) the doctor sees penises EVERYDAY and isn't bothered and nor should you be! i know it might seem daunting and you might even feel embarrassed while they examine you (although i think actually dropping your pants for the doctor is the worst bit, after that you just get on with it!) the examination will take less than a minute i reckon, then the doc will tell you what the score is. doesn't that sound better than carrying on worrying about it indefinitely??

 Are you still a virgin, if you are then yes it might just take time. Just take a good look and make sure that there is no swelling or pain if there is then your only option is to go to a doctor. I know that it is embarressing but believe me if you were worried enough about something you would go to a doctor its what they are there for.
Other than that just give it sometime. Goodluck.
