For men and boys with a tight foreskin that can not retract off the head, a condition known as phimosis, the skin can usually be stretched to comfortably slide on and off the head. Stretching the foreskin works in about 9 out of 10 cases, making circumcision rarely necessary. When trying to stretch your foreskin, the most important thing to realize is to do it very slowly. It will take months to acheive results. You will want to gently place a finger or two into the opening of your foreskin and gently apply continuous pressure. Make sure you do not feel pain. Pain indicates you are causing damage to the foreskin. For 15 or 30 minutes every day, gently stretch the opening of the foreskin and apply a topical steroid cream twice a day. It is important to do it every day or even a couple times of the day. Just make sure you are not causing any pain, tearing or bleeding. You may enjoy pulling and stretching the foreskin while you masturbate. The most important thing is to do it consistently every day. Using a topical steroid cream is essential when stretching. You should apply it to the tight part of the foreskin inside and out twice a day. It's also good to apply the cream while you stretch.
Betamethasone cream 0.05% works the best, but it is only available by prescription from a doctor. If you are unable to go to a doctor, hydrocortisone cream 1.0% is available without a prescription at any drug store. Also, it is important to never force the foreskin back over the head. If the foreskin becomes stuck behind the head while you are hard, then is called paraphimosis. If the skin gets stuck back while you are hard and you can not get the foreskin back over the head, this is a medical emergency, and you must go to an emergency room immediately. Failure to have paraphimosis treated can cause serious permanent damage to the penis. Here is a summary for how to stretch your foreskin: 1) Do it every day for 15-20 minutes twice per day. The more time you spend stretching it the faster it will work.
2) Go very slowly. Stretch it firmly, but don't make it hurt. If you feel pain, soreness, or have bleeding or irritation, stop for a while. If you feel pain, you're stretching it too hard. 3) Use betamethasone cream 0.05% or hydrocortisone cream 1.0%. Apply twice a day to the tight part of the foreskin. Applying the cream while stretching works well.
4) Never force your foreskin back. You don't want it to get stuck behind the head. That is paraphimosis, and it requires immediate emergency medical attention. 5) Be patient! It may take months for you to get your foreskin stretched enough to move on and off the head easily, but once it does, it will stay like that for the rest of your life. And even though it takes a long time to stretch, its way better than getting circumcised, which requires getting your foreskin cut off, is painful, and makes your penis less sensitive to sexual pleasure. You'll be happy with your foreskin if you take the time to patiently stretch it. Good luck!
The inability to retract your foreskin is a condition called phimosis and if you have that problem then you should schedule an appointment with your doctor to determine the reason and correct it. If it is left uncorrected it can increase the risk of infection and can even lead to penile cancer.
One of the treatments that they can try is a steroid cream (betamethasone).

Partial circumcision removes only part of the foreskin. Partial foreskin may be used to treat phimosis (a tight foreskin) that does not respond to gradual stretching exercises with a corticosteroid cream. Instead of removing the entire foreskin, partial circumcision only removes the tight phimotic ring that prevents the foreskin from being retracted. Many men with phimosis prefer partial circumcision to complete circumcision as it retains most of the foreskin, which functions in several ways to increase pleasure during sexual activity.
That is perfectly normal, and nothing to worry about.
This is called phimosis, where the skin of the foreskin becomes tight and sometimes painful. It can be alleviated by gentle stretching and if this does not help, surgery or circumcision can be indicated.
You may need a circumcision if you have a tight foreskin. Do not force it out as this could be very painful and damaging. If you have tried gently moving the foreskin back n forth and it will not freely go over the glans then ask to see your doctor who will be best to advise you.
If the foreskin is too tight or not, if it can be pulled back so you can clean under it.

I think you are asking if you need to have a circumcision ! This all depends on how tight your foreskin is, it is not normal practise anymore to remove the foreskin unless it is needed medically. Usually it is done when you are still a child but it can be done for adults also. The foreskin should be able to move over the glans freely without causing pain. There are circumcisions on religious grounds. The Jewish faith still circumcise their baby boys. The foreskin need never be removed for any reason but to treat an existing medical condition that can not be dealt with in any other way. tight foreskins can be loosened in order for them to be able to move easily back and forth over the glans penis. The foreskin is an important part of the operation of the penis and is a or erogenous zone.
If it is doing what it is supposed to do. which is cause the foreskin to move back over the glans of the penis when it is flaccid. it is easily distinguishable when puling the foreskin right back as a separate chord like entity that reaches from the glans to the foreskin for about 15mm until it seems to blend back into the foreskin. so it is not actually tight at all it only becomes tight when the foreskin is pulled back. the tightens of the frenulum may well be associated with the tightness of the foreskin round the penis itself. loosen the foreskin and you loosen the frenulum.
This is the natural form of a penis, with foreskin attached. All baby boys are born with It. It is only later that circumcision gets taken into consideration for whatever reason, be it religious or cultural. Medically a penis will be circumcised because the foreskin is too tight and cannot be loosened.
