HELP!! penis area swelling!?

Okay im 14 and im just scared right now

When i woke up this morning and went to the bathroom i noticed something weird.

The skin around the head of my penis. . . .. is swollen!

Its pretty bad too. . . .i mean its like really puffy and stuff. . . .

And its just the skin around the head. .. the rest of it is perfectly fine

So PLEASE HELP!

What is this?

What can i do to get it to go away?

And Is it dangerous?

Oh and how long should it take to go away?

PLEASE answer all those!

Answer:
it would indicate that you have not been adequately pulling back your foreskin and cleaning under it, so now you have an infection. You need to see a doctor for treatment, so tell your folks about it and get it taken care of before it spreads and gets a lot worse.
Sounds like you need to go to the doctor or the hospital to get it checked. I know you are 14 but do you mess with it a lot because that could also be the problem. I can't remember what my boyfriend told me it is called but it has something to do with that.
Go see a doctor to check you out.
