Keep calm. Pain and panic are the first reactions to injury and that’s true of any age. Before using any method, it is important to keep the victim calm (even if you are). ^{[3] X Research Sources}

An injured child can become very frightened so you must both examine the wound and reassure him.
If your child panics, calm down and draw his or her attention to you or a favorite toy.

Coat the injured area with mineral oil. Mineral oil with petroleum component helps to lubricate and relieve pressure on sensitive skin. Mineral oil and mineral fat are both known for their effective wound healing properties. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

Put oil on your penis and zip up your pants. This helps with lubrication and you can remove the leather from the zipper yourself without having to cut the zipper.
Let the oil soak in for 10-15 minutes.

Release the skin from the zipper. Try pulling the end of the zipper and the leather in opposite directions, if that still doesn’t work, removing the zipper is the next step to take.

One hand holds the skin area, the other hand holds the zipper end.
Slowly and carefully pull the skin and the fermenta in opposite directions.
Note: If bleeding or watering occurs, immediately stop and seek medical assistance.

Remove the zipper. To release the skin try unfastening the zipper from below. This helps relieve pressure between the zipper teeth and frees up any skin stuck with the zipper. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

Method 1: Cut the connecting rod at the front of the slider head (the joint of the front and back of the zipper). This will help the zipper unfasten, freeing the trapped skin without causing much pain.
Method 2: Use the flat end of the screwdriver to insert the inner gap between the zipper and the teeth. Gently push the screwdriver back and forth toward the slider end connection to widen the gap between the zipper and the cog to break the zipper’s structure.
Method 3: If it still doesn’t work, use pliers to cut the part of the tooth closest to the tip of the zipper to free the “little guy”.

Care for injured skin. Once the fermenta has been removed, the skin becomes sensitive and painful. However, it is important to keep the skin clean, free from bleeding, and to handle it properly.

Wash the affected area with water and antibacterial soap.
If bleeding occurs, apply a clean gauze pad directly to the wound until the bleeding stops.
Keep pressure on the wound for 15 minutes if you are bleeding heavily. If the bleeding still does not stop, seek medical help. ^{[6] X Research Sources}

Go to the emergency room. If you are unable to troubleshoot at home or feel insecure, get medical help.

Ask for pain medication or sedation (if necessary). If the patient is panicking, ask the doctor about medication so they can stay calm and continue treatment. ^{[8] X Research Sources}

If the patient is calm enough, no sedation is needed, only local anesthesia (see below).

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Free-a-Penis-from-a-Stuck-Zipper-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4- 728px-Free-a-Penis-from-a-Stuck-Zipper-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/ Free-a-Penis-from-a-Stuck-Zipper-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Free-a-Penis-from-a-Stuck-Zipper-Step-10-Version-2. jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Allows manipulation of sensitive areas. To treat, the doctor will cut off the pants, leaving only the zipper around the stuck skin.

This provides better visibility and eliminates the undue weight that pants can put on your skin.

Requires anesthesia. A local anesthetic (lidocaine injection) or a local anesthetic (EMLA topical) can be applied to relieve pain thereby releasing the trapped skin. ^{[9] X Research Source}

Penile skin surgery can be done for really difficult cases or the skin is too large
Note: local anesthesia has many advantages, but you need to weigh those benefits with direct injection into the intimate area and the pain that comes with it.

Requires mineral oil. This helps to reduce friction, easily releasing the jam. Let the oil soak for 15 minutes.

Follow the doctor to rescue the penis from the zipper. There are many ways to do this depending on where the skin is injured. ^{[10] X Research Source}

If the skin is caught between the teeth of the zipper, the doctor will cut above and below where the fermenta is stuck with the skin, and then gently pull the two teeth apart.
If the leather gets stuck in the slide of the zipper, cut the slider connection (connecting the front and back of the zipper) to damage the structure and remove the leather from the zipper.

Warning

It’s important to remember never to try to open the femur on your own as this can tear the skin and cause further damage.
