    Going unreged for this one.

    If it does not bother you, then you might be better leaving well enough alone.
    I was circumcised not that long ago, as it was too tight and causing me difficulty.
    The only thing i'd say, which the surgeon pointed put to me, is that if you cant pull the foreskin back, you cant clean that area properly, and could lead to an infection at some time.

    However, if you are considering circumcision, its not that bad, not sore, just a bit unconforatable for a few weeks and then not a problem.

    Hope this is of some use to you.

    Can you see the head of your penis, is it prone to splitting?

    If it is not causing you pain and you can ejaculate it should be fine.

    Circumcision is one option, but stretching can help.

    If there's no problem with sex/masterbation then there's no problem. However if you have any doubts your GP is your first port of call.

    Generally you can stretch your foreskin out with time so that it easily slides over and back on the helmet.

    I had this problem until 3 years ago. I went to the doctor, told him about it, he asked me to show him, looked at it for approx. 2 seconds and gave me a prescription for this cream (topical steroids). I don't know why I was so worried thinking about going to the doctor, it was so simple. All I had to do was put the cream on the foreskin and stretch it; the cream would speed up the stretching. After 2 weeks, I was able to pull the foreskin back all the way.
