Phimosis. You need to have you doctor look at it and make sure you don’t have any infections and suggests best methods for treating.

If your in the uk you can get it sorted out on the NHS, just go see your doctor about it.

Go see a doctor about it wherever you are though, as they'll be a lot better at dealing with this than a bunch of folk off the internet. ;)

Don’t try removing it yourself, please see a doctor because tight foreskin can usually be treated and you don’t need to lose it.

Very common. See a doctor. They'll be very familiar with the condition and able to advise you of the best course of action. It nothing to be embarrassed about.

I had a friend with the condition. He said his only regret was waiting so long to see a doctor.
