Description
Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. Phimosis is normal in babies and toddlers, but in older children it may be the result of a skin condition that has caused scarring. It isn’t usually a problem unless it causes symptoms. By around the the age of 2, the foreskin should start to separate naturally from the glans. If your child’s glans is sore and inflamed, it’s known as balanoposthitis. Surgery may be needed if a child or adult has severe or persistent balanitis or balanoposthitis that causes their foreskin to be painfully tight. Circumcision is surgically removing part or all of the foreskin may be considered.
