Is it causing you any discomfort? Did the skin crank out get dry? If it just something you noticed one day that made you think I wonder if this is normal for uncircumcised males? Answer that and I'll answer more

Hi Beoas, how old are you? unless you are very young I doubt I would tell my parents?

Then as IKABOBmomster is kind of asking - how bad is it? Does it happen all the time? Is it painful? is it recent? Is there anyone you can contact maybe ? In the UK you can call NHS Direct and although you have to give your details you will be speaking to a stranger - that is often easier. But I'm guessing there are sexual health centres/lines in most places.

Above all - don't worry.

if you have to talk to your parents about it then chances are a tight foreskin is pretty normal for your age. It usually retracts around 10.5 years old but there’s early bloomers and late bloomers. Let your body mature a bit and maybe try stretching your skin for a few weeks if it bothers you. Your parents will do what’s best for you and they’ve seen every part of you before so no worries about being nervous- just ask for help!

sounds like fimosis, nothing to worry about young man, it just requires a little bit more work and attention in the cleaning departmen. just talk to your father, it's nothing to be ashamed of trust me.

Hold up I'll y'all wait a minute ! save for @someguyinaroom in my humble opinion, and (sidebar, for direct individual such as myself to be able to to be able to constructively reply to this young gentleman, and not express his anger at your advise to this young man makes me really want toreadyou the riot act. because I can't believe what I read as the replies to this mens very serious issue ! that being said.....

Beoas the only person that you should go to as of right now, is your father father snuggling anything happened to you and he's not gonna be someone who's not in your corner he's your father and he wants the best for you. He wants to know that you're healthy and happy and not stressed, in that all your parts are in working order a little known fact, your father has a penis to Aunt and more than likely he has the foreskin and he's probably encountered the same situation. You're dealing with 40 might have a father who is circumcised and was smart enough in and nurturing enough to break the chain, you can still talk to him and he will help (well, I am aware that sometimes father and son relationships are strained. Show me vulnerability to your father probably be a great wave a great way of extending an olive branch ) still I believe it's good to. talk to your dad let us know what happens. Good luck buddy by the way, is your name pronounced Boaz?

Not what you're looking for?
