If he subsequently developed an adhesion, then it is somewhat unfortunate that you did not continue to monitor it until now, albeit given Rood's cautions on not making this anything other than a positive reinforcement.
> Now, the foreskin is sticking on one side of the glans, most of the way up, with a white spot underneath wear it is sticking. It looks fused to me.
The "white spot" is a "keratin pearl", and indicates that it is only the edges that are attached, so the term "fused" is inappropriate.
> So, he was retractible before, and now he is not, and this doesn't seem normal to me, because it must have fused just recently and only on one side.
Correct.
> From the responses, it doesn't seem like anyone else has heard of this either?
You asked about it, I gave a comprehensive answer, and now you come back with this comment. I have to question: Exactly what is your agenda here? What stunt are you trying to pull?
