Cosmetic & Plastic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello Christian,
The easiest way to get relief from your symptoms is to have a circumcision. This is a simple operation which removes the foreskin keeping only a rim. The surgery is done under local anesthesia and is pretty safe in experienced hands. The recovery is also pretty smooth. The cost varies according to your country of residence but is usually not high since the surgery is performed under local anesthesia.
