It seems your measurements are in error. If you have phimosis may be you ought to get circumcised. Exposure of glans penis might enhance your sensitivity. There are no exercises to enlarge the penis. See a Urologist.

I was circumcised last year for a tight foreskin and yeast infections. Not all the skin was removed. It covers my corona when flaccid and there is a wad of scar tissue on the underside of my penis. Do I need a revision?

Probably no need: From your description, I don't see any obvious need for revision. But check back with the doctor who did the procedures.

In the meantime, I agree attempts to stretch your foreskin are more likely to cause harm than benefit. Stop trying.

I'm 21 & about a yr ago I properly learned how to clean & peel back my foreskin. I am able to peel it back when flaccid (from practice), but it is difficult to do when erect. Are stretching exercises when erect the best way to help tight foreskin?

Do not force: Do not force the foreskin if it is too tight to be retracted with erect penis. You may consider getting circumcised.
