A member asked:
What do i do if my 1.5 yr old sons foreskin won't retract? it seems too tight when i pull it back to clean it. it only retracts a little bit.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The foreskin covering glans penis does not become fully retractable until age 4 in most boys. Until then, gently retract the foreskin to clean. Forceful retraction may create severe swelling of foreskin by interrupting circulation.
