Hi,

Presence of a tight foreskin which is difficult to retract is called phimosis. Although steroid creams help in mild cases, in others, it needs to be surgically removed to prevent future complications. Do not forcibly retract the foreskin as it can lead to paraphimosis, in which the glans becomes swollen and painful and the foreskin cannot be retracted back. Please consult a doctor and do not hesitate in getting it operated as the surgery is a minor one with excellent results.

Best wishes.
