Thanks for all your help guys.

"The way I understand, you could have overmasturbated or something and hurt your foreskin (or maybe you got an infection). Then it heeled, thus becoming "scar-like". Have you done anything unsusual in terms of sex? I mean, you could have masturbated using a plastic toy, or had anal sex or something weird."

This could have maybe been why. This is pretty embarrasing but I used to masturbate in a sock and once I think I was doing it too hard as my foreskin tore and bled. Maybe this could have caused an infection?

"It seems the stretching on it's own probably won't work. I've read that scar tissue won't stretch. However, you could try using a steroid cream, that might help. You have to go to your doctor for the prescription, though. It may be embarrassing, but any examination is brief and mechanical and not erotic in anyway. Keep focused on getting the problem resolved. Once you have achieved this goal, you don't need to look back. It's tough getting it sorted, but once it's done, it's over with."

And if not the reason above I'm guessing this could have a lot to do with it. I should have kept going with the stretching first time round.

I havn't been stretching for a good month because I thought it would not work, but starting from yesterday I am going to try again because I have nothing to lose even if it doesn't work. I have been applying a lot of vaseline and I may be wrong but it looks like the scar tissue(?) is going down a bit.

I will keep you informed on my progress. If I am not successful this time I WILL go to the doctors.

>>The situation I have now is still a very tight foreskin BUT my main problem is that the phimotic ring is VERY thick and scar like. It has cracks also and its not actually round and smooth, but it kind of has corners if that makes sense. Its been like this for probably 4 or 5 months and will not change back to smooth NORMAL skin. This is a real problem as stretching just doesn't work.
