Dear Mr XXXXXXX
There is nothing to be embarrassed or worried about. It's a common problem faced by young individual.
Do not worry it can be taken care off non surgically.
Do not forcefully pull it back for two reasons
1. It will lead to paraphimosis
2. Raw surface created on both prepuce and glans and cause further adhesion
I would suggest you the following
1. Hot Seitz bath : To a tub of lukewarm water add handful of common table salt. Sit in it for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently pull back the skin and clean it. Remove the white secretion which is known as a smegma. Pull it back slightly and not completely. Over a period of time you will be able to retract in completely. Replace back the skin and take a bath.
Do this procedure twice a day.
2. Local application: After bath, dry the body. Take soframycin and Betnovate ointment. Empty both the ointment tubes In a small clean plastic container and mix well.
Gently pull back the foreskin and apply the ointment mixture and replace back the skin.
Apply it twice a day for 3 weeks.
Betnovate is steroid ointment and will prevent future adhesion and will help in gentle retraction.
Majority of my patients benefit from it . If phimosis still persists , simple out patient procedure like prepucial separation will help.
Keep me updated.
Also send me clinical photograph for assessment.
Take care
