Here are some...: Repeating gentle foreskin retraction will slowly and increasingly expose the covered glans penis although using coconut oil is not known if it may help soften to efface a hidden glans. So, you decide if its use is beneficial or just from recurrent gentle foreskin reaction. If too cumbersome, eventually circumcision would a good choice of care. More doubt? Seek evaluation and counseling timely.
