Foreskin Development for Intact Men

A good information on foreskin development from boys to men. (taken from http://www.circumstitions.com/Care.html)
 
Boys
The foreskin usually detaches itself from the glans and becomes retractable during babyhood and/or boyhood. The best person to discover this and encourage it is the boy himself. As it becomes retractable, the boy should be encouraged to wash underneath it, using mild soap, if any (remember, smegma is Greek for "soap"). Stronger soaps are implicated in balanitis (irritation of the glans), and particular suspicion falls on bubble baths.
Youths
If they have not done so earlier, most intact young men learn to retract their foreskins as part of masturbation.
Men
Some men have foreskins that still do not retract, and they are happy to leave them that way. If you are not (if you want it to retract for intercourse, for example) it can be freed non-surgically using an ointment (betamethasone 0.05% - or 1% hydrocortisone cream, sold over the counter under the trade name "Cortaid" or as a generic or economical store brand - applied once or twice a day to the outside of the foreskin from the tip to about mid-glans for up to eight weeks), or surgically without circumcision. If you are in the US, this means looking for a foreskin-friendly urologist. A Japanese firm, Turumaki Corp., offers a do-it-yourself foreskin stretcher, the "Glansie".

Foreskin Stretching Exercise

Came across this stretching exercise from http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/.
Hopefully , it solve your problem. Always treat circumcision as the last resort.

Stretching

The basic principle is to apply pressure to the frenar band, much as one would do to stretch an elastic band. I'll detail two exercises for phimosis, and one for frenulum breve. If you spend 5 minutes twice a day on stretching, that should be adequate. Once it's sorted, carry on for another 4 weeks afterwards to ensure it stays permanent.

The advantage of stretching is that you don't need to show your tackle to any medical professionals, and you can start doing it right now; okay, not right now if you're in an internet café or at work....

Phimosis Exercise 1

This is appropriate if you cannot get two fingers into the foreskin at the end. If you can get two fingers in, skip to exercise 2 - it's more efficient.

i) Attempt to retract the foreskin until there is some discomfort - as much as you can tolerate without being in agony.

ii) Hold for 30 seconds, then pull forwards again.

iii) Relax

Repeat this for 5 minutes. It can help to do it in the bath - the heat helps loosen things up a bit.

Phimosis Exercise 2

This assumes you can get two fingers in - if not, follow the previous exercise.

i) Insert your two index fingers into the opening of the foreskin and feel around for the phimotic ring. If you can't find it, try and retract and see which bit snags on the glans - that's the bit you want.

ii) Pull your fingers in opposing directions. Again, discomfort is okay, but not agony.

iii) Hold for 30 seconds, then pull forwards again.

As above, repeat for 5 minutes, and doing it in the bath can help.

Frenulum Stretching

The frenulum is a slippery little blighter, but it can be stretched. If you have tore your frenulum through sexual activity, let it heal before following these instructions (also, consider using a lubricant to reduce the tugging on it during sex).

i) Locate the phimotic ring (as in phimosis exercise 2)

ii) Grip the end of the frenulum which joins onto the phimotic ring between your thumb and forefinger

iii) Pull away from the body (away from the glans) until taut, and a mite uncomfortable.

iv) Hold for 30 seconds, then let go

You might need to hook your thumb around to stop the frenulum slipping away. Again, doing it in the bath can help.

Phimosis Treatment Stretching

The vast majority of tight foreskins can be loosened within a month by consistent stretching daily.
This stretching will be more effective if done during erection.
The best way to start is by warming the penis. The best time would be when you are having a hot shower. Use baby oil, lotion or any bland cream as a lubricant. However, please beware of the sensitivity of your skin. Gently pull your foreskin forward away from the body for a few times and then gently pull it back as far as it can go onto the head of the penis and let it be in this stretched position for few minutes. Done this stretching for few times a day and try to retract your foreskin everytime you pee.
Other alternative treatments for phimosis, please go to the first post.

Phimosis Treatment - Stretching

Every individual male have different severity of tight foreskin. Different condition of tight foreskin require a different type of treatment.

According to Dr. O.J. Clemmensen's findings, he concluded as below,
1) If the subject has a primary or congenital phimosis, i.e. ever since he can remember, then there is every reason to believe that gentle stretching will mobilise the elastic capacity of the skin tissue.
2) If on the other hand he can remember the phimotic ring developing then it is most probably a secondary phimosis of a lichenoid or fibrous type, such types are atrophic (prone to degeneration), they will generally be difficult to stretch. Clobetasol Propionate and other steroids may help, but recurrent problems require surgery.

If you have tight foreskin or 'phimosis' , do not worry too much. Depending on the severity, some of it can be solved by gentle stretching.

Forceful Retraction of Foreskin

Forcefully retracting your foreskin not only will make you scream in pain but will potentially cause a permanent injury to your penis. Some of the consequences of forceful retraction as below,

Avery's Neonatology :

'Forcible retraction of the foreskin tends to produce tears in the preputial orifice resulting in scarring that may lead to pathologic [i.e., in this case, iatrogenic, or physician-induced] phimosis.”

Roberton's Textbook of Neonatology also warns:

“Forcible retraction in infancy tears the tissues of the tip of the foreskin causing scarring, and is the commonest cause of genuine phimosis later in life.”

American Academy of Pediatrics, (those who formerly discouraged breastfeeding and encouraged daily forced retraction of intact boys) :

“...foreskin retraction should NEVER be forced. Until separation occurs, do NOT try to pull the foreskin back - especially an infant's. Forcing the foreskin to retract before it is ready may severely harm the penis and cause pain, bleeding and tears in the skin. " (From the AAP bulletin, "Care of the Uncircumcised Penis").
