I can't retract foreskin when erect. and want to know what i can do. i may have balanophitis i think. is there any over-the-counter drugs.

May need antibiotics: If you have balano-posthitis. Tight foreskin might respond to applications of prescription strength steroid cream suh as 0.1% betamethasi=one or kenalog (triamcinolone). Circumcision would be necessary if you fail torespond to steroid cream.
