my three year old son is not circumcised and he bathes every night with my husband and he is teaching him to clean himself and he has noticed the skin is not yet folding back. we are wondering how old should he be whne that happens, should we be worried?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query.Retractability age of foreskin are variable.some get at 3 some at 5 and some even after 10. So you don't need to get worried as it is natural. If you notice it troublesome again then you can have a physical examination with a general surgeon and can do circumcision if needed.Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further query.
