Lubricate your foreskin well with baby oil and gently pull it as far back as possible . make sure to pull it forward again. Do this daily and in a week or two it will become more supple and fully retractable. If not there is no harm in staying the way you are as you have no problems with it. Last choice is a circumcision.

It could be from sex. Tane a pause from it and use cortisone ointment to the area. If not better pl see a Urologist

A 32-year-old male asked:
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?
Dr. Hunter Handsfieldanswered

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.
