>Be careful! If you try to stretch it too much scarring will just make it tighter over time, and look unpleasant. Also, paraphimosis (when your fskin won't go back over the glans) is super-scary and requires an emerg circ.
To have scarring like this, you have to be pulling so heard you are tearing the skin. That would be the wrong way to do it - it should be taut, not painful. If it is painful you are either tearing or very close to doing so.And paraphimosis DOES NOT require a circumcision, emergency or otherwise - the blood can be gently but firmly squeezed out of the glans to allow the foreskin to be eased back over the glans. Don't Panic. This is also why I recommend that stretching be done by pulling outward rather than toward the body, until you can confidently get the foreskin back and forth over the glans.
