If you don't have foreskin that means you have been circumcised. Circumcision is a surgery during which part of the skin of the penis, called the foreskin, is cut off of the rest of the penis. After circumcision the head of the penis is always exposed since there is no foreskin left to cover it. Foreskin does not grow back after it has been cut off. Most circumcisions are performed when boys are only a few days old, which is why you don't remember it.

There are several different techniques that could be used to alleviate this, including stretching, steroid cream, or circumcision.But if you are having trouble retracting your foreskin, you should have it evaluated by a trained physician, because the treatment depends on the particular person. For instance if you stretch it inappropriately, you can cause scar tissue formation, which would force you to get a circumcision.PhimosisThe incorect diagnosis of "Phimosis" in young boys is not unusual, aspecialy in the US where there is a culture that encourages Circumsicisionmost foreskin problems can be treated without circumcision as is apperent from the European experience where less the 3% on average are circumcised and many of those for cultural and religious reasons.The #1 rule for intact care is to leave it alone.The first person to retract a boy's foreskin should be the boy himself.Until then, just wipe it off like you would a your hands finger or rinseit in plain water in the bath.Once a boy can retract the foreskin himself, all he needs to do is "RETRACT it and RINSE it", in the shower or bath.phimosis
