    Where? Around the rubber base? At the tip? All over? And what do you mean a bad swelling of 'some kind'? Is it swelling - or is it not?

    Does it happen with all brands of condoms? Do you have problems putting on or wearing your condoms - i.e. could they be a bit small?

    Doctor Teagan needs more info ... ;)

    Its near the tip but at the back, its not a condom brand, because it even happens when i dont even use one.

    Im not sure of the name but i think its "frenulum"

    Ah ok ... that makes a bit more sense. Yes, the piece of skin that holds the underside of the head to the foreskin, is the frenulum.

    Does your foreskin retract comfortably when you are hard? And does your frenulum ever hurt without you having sex - like when you wank, for instance?

    The frenulum can be particularly 'short' on some guys and this can cause discomfort - and if a small tear was to occur, this could possibly explain the symptoms you are experiencing.

    By the way, some people are allergic to latex so it doesn't always have to be one particular brand - any latex condom would cause irritation.
