I have a Tight Foreskin but no symptoms like phimosis

I have a tight foreskin I can retract it when my penis is flaccid; there is no pain, scars, swelling, or reddishness. I wash every day under the foreskin of the penis so it's always clean there and I masturbate with the foreskin. At age of 15, I realized it was a problem that I couldn’t retract when erect and had a tight foreskin. I have tried stretching the ring of the foreskin I am not sure if it will stretch more but I see a difference. Do I have to keep doing this? Will my foreskin stretch until it retracts down properly? I am worried that it won't stretch more than my glans while retracting it down Is it curable? If it's not is circumcision required?

Does laser circumcision involve stitching and cutting; laser circumcision is said to be finished in 10 - 12 mins and discharged the same day?

I don't prefer circumcision I want to have my foreskin but hate it when it's tight

If you have no symptoms, just keep up the washing but avoid strong detergents. Plain water will do. There is no need for any surgery.

You might want to talk to your doctor about a steroid cream to use while stretching:

Stretching is possible - lots of online guides are available. No need to have circumcision. Your doctor may be able to prescribe creams to help. Otherwise, if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.

I agree with SnipperSniffer - a soap free, non-lathering cleanser is also good (like Cetaphil if you have it where you are). Any pharmacy will have a selection of it.

My dermatologist just recommended it to me for my skin issue. It may help.

I would also regularly and gently stretch it while in the shower or bath.

Seeing a physician is also a good idea.

You've already answered your own question by your progress. Continue the stretching. Once you achieve your goal, continue an additional six weeks to give time for new skin cells to mature. Then the process is complete and permanent.

Thanks a lot, guys, this keeps me confident and yeah I wasn’t aware of using soap-free cleanser cause I've been using normal body soap to keep it clean anyway I figured my mistake Hidden , SnipperSniffer

Hi Cosmic007Definitely go see a specialist about creams and stretching - get professional advise and do it right. Also Zappa61 is correct. Your foreskin is priceless. If its not diseased there are other surgical options if stretching doesn't work such as preputioplasty, dorsal slit, limited dorsal slit etc... that are tissue sparing plastic surgery techniques to help free the tightness without resorting to removing the foreskin. I myself have had a frenuloplasty and am very grateful to stay intact.

Good luck - hope the stretching works for you
