90% of boys can retract their foreskin by 4 years of age. If the foreskin can not be pulled back by that age, your doctor can prescribe a corticosteroid cream (for example betamethasone cream 0.05%), which is applied to the foreskin three times daily for 1 month. Older boys and adolescents can be instructed to gently stretch the foreskin after applying the cream. This treatment is successful in about 85% of cases. Parents should never attempt to force back the foreskin during diaper changes or in the bath. This can cause scaring leading to phimosis (a tight foreskin) in the future. There is no need to wash under the foreskin until the boy can retract the foreskin himself. At this point he should be taught to pull back the foreskin and wash the head of the penis just like any other part of the body in the bath or shower. If your foreskin does not get all the way off of the head of your penis when you get an erection, check with a doctor. This is not a disaster, but it can make keeping yourself clean harder, and that can lead to passing sexually transmitted diseases.

∙ 15y agoMost 13 year olds can retract the foreskin all the way. If you'd like to be able to retract your foreskin farther, you gradually stretch the foreskin by performing stretching exercises and using a corticosteroid cream (such as betamethasone cream 0.05%, available from your doctor by prescription).

What should you do if you are 16 and not circumcised and it makes sex hurt because the tip gets red and the foreskin doesn't go back and you feel cheated because of your parents' decision?
A tight foreskin is somewhat common in uncircumcised men. It is a problem that can easily be fixed without circumcision. The opening of the foreskin can be gradually stretched using a combination of stretching exercises and a topical medication. You can learn about how to stretch your foreskin by searching on Wikianswers for "How do you stretch your foreskin?" Gradual stretching works in about 95% of cases and allows you to avoid circumcision, which has a painful two to three week recovery period.
