Have you checked with a doctor if it is BXO? This used to mean circumcision but now is treated with a steroid cream. The way it was perfectly OK and then tightened up sounds like an infection or BXO. See a doctor, preferably a dermatologist ASAP.

>>I am from the UK. The phimotic ring is very thicky and white and is the sort of texture that can peel, I don't know if its scar tissue or not. I probably should have also mentioned that I havn't always had phimosis, only the last few years, and also my frenulum seems to become shorter and closer to my meatus. So maybe it is a yeast infection? I should have had it checked out as soon as the foreskin was getting tight I guess. I really do think the skin isn't able to be stretched in the state its in, I guess I just need to go to a doctor?
>>Thanks for your input guys.
>Sorry, thick, not thicky. And should have read "also my frenulum became shorter and closer to my meatus around the same time I gained phimosis"
