Marnie,
I wish I had the answer for you. I know how awful it is to worry about one of your children.
When my boy was about 4, doctors started telling me I was going to have to have him circ'd because his foreskin didn't retract. I cried alot too.
Try this board:
https://boards.parentsoup.com/messages/get/pscircumcision6.html
Maybe someone there will have the answer for you.
Also there's an organization Called NOCIRC, they might be able to help you.
You can get their mailing address and fax # by doing a search.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

>Hi...I need help...
>My baby boy was cir'd at a day old. Now he's 10 months old and it appears that the skin has grown back where the "ridge" should be.
>I consulted with two different doctors and got two different answers. One says "leave it alone, the skin will detach by itself"..another says "you gotta rip the skin apart otherwise it will get worse."
>What should I do? I dread the thought of putting my son through this "ripping" procedure since I understand they do not use anesthesia. Is there anyone out there who has been through this. I really need help cuz I've been crying over this for days....
>Thanks...
