Tried creams?: Have you tried antifungal and mositurizing creams (together), to try to remove any fungal infection that could be leading to skin contracture and moisturizer to help soften / loosen skin? If yes and without improvement, need to see a urologist for examination and treatment options short of circumcision.

3 possible options: 1) twice daily application of prescription strength steroid cream, 0.1% Betamethasone or kenalog, (triamcinolone) to tight area of forcenkin whilst retracting. 2) frenuloplasty, in which tight area of foreskin is incised vertically ; sutured transversely or z platy thru tight area. Both alternatives to circumcision 3) final option is a "minimal" or partial circumcision, i.e. Only removing phimotic/tight area.
