Am i having phimosis? (17 years old)

I can't retract it all the way down and seems the foreskin still adhered-

I would see your doctor. I am more worried about the raw skin that the retraction.

Hi Ethan,

Seems like a mild phimosis. I guess you are soft in the photo & it’s less retracted when you’re hard.

The redness is either an infection or you have being pulling your foreskin back & made it separate. Do you have any smell, stinging or other feelings when retracted?

If you do see a doctor, be aware that circumcision should be down the list, not the first answer.

Feel free to dm me.

Rob.

I don’t feel pain whatsoever, only tightness when it’s retracted and hard.

Ethan,
In that case it’s just stage 4 phimosis (least severe). If you started puberty in your mid-late teens, there’s still a chance you will grow out of this issue.

There is stretching techniques that help resolve the issue too, but it will take a few months at least to see resolution.

It more depends on how much this situation bothers you. Some guys live with it, others want it behind them.
