Hi, don’t worry mate I had the same problem, keep trying to pull it back in the bath. But do not give up on pulling it back which I did as now I have adhesion which occurs if u don’t pull your foreskin back regularly. Now I’ve got to see a doctor again and have another awkward conversation with my parents. So just keep trying slowly with Vaseline and hopefully u should be able to retract it fully :)

Did you visit a doctor

Can't retract means your operation was not perfect

The swelling might keep you from seeing the incision part. Since it is day 17 the stitches will have done their job and should be dissolving by now if they haven't already. What one poster already suggested, take a warm bath and slowly try to pull the skin back, so it exposes the incision part. Enables you to clean i properly and see it. Mind you it might scare you but if there is no pain, nothing to be worried about. It will become easier every time until there won't be any issue with retraction anymore.

Good luck.

Thats hardly a reason to visit a doctor. Gotta keep it clean and soak in it salt baths or chamomile tea.
