A member asked:
My son foreskin is not pulling back, he is now 2 years old. when should foreskin be pulled back, i heard not to touch and will fully retract by 10?

Usually by 5: The kid should be taught to softly retract as far as comfortable during bathing. Forcefully retracting the foreskin can create tears in the bridging tissue that will form a firm anchor that would later need to be released surgically.
