You can use your fingers to stretch the foreskin, that is if your fingers can fit inside the foreskin. Place your fingers back to back on either side of the foreskin, gently stretch the skin by pulling in opposite directions, then relax and repeat. Your fingers must be clean while doing these stretching exercises.
Start stretching exercises on the foreskin, usually best by pulling the foreskin back until it feels tight (but not painful), and holding it back under tension for 10 minutes – usually after a bath or shower twice a day.
A topical steroid ointment can be used to help soften the foreskin and make retraction easier. The ointment is massaged into the area around the glans and foreskin twice a day for several weeks. In more serious cases, circumcision or a similar surgical procedure may be necessary.

Physiologic phimosis: Children are born with tight foreskin at birth and separation occurs naturally over time. Phimosis is normal for the uncircumcised infant/child and usually resolves around 5-7 years of age, however the child may be older.
If your or your child's foreskin is causing problems, treatments include: steroid creams or gels (topical steroids) to help soften the foreskin. antibiotics if the foreskin or head of the penis is infected.
Over time, the foreskin will separate from the head of the penis. This is a natural process and occurs over 5 to 10 years. It slowly loosens up (retracts) a little at a time. Normal erections during childhood cause most of the change by stretching the foreskin.
In children, a tight foreskin is usually congenital but, in adults, it is often due to a scarring disease known as balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO, sometimes called lichen sclerosus).
Phimosis is the medical term for a foreskin that is too tight to be pulled back. It usually isn't something to worry about unless it is causing you pain or difficulty while urinating or having sex. Paraphimosis is when a tight foreskin is pulled behind the head of the penis and can then not be moved forward.
Stretching can be unpleasant at times. You could discover that stretching your foreskin is easier if you use warm water. Take a hot shower or bathe in a heated bath. It will not only help you relax, but the warm water may also assist loosen your skin.

Male babies are born with a tight foreskin as it is attached to the penis head. Uncircumcised boys will usually develop retractable foreskins by the time they reach their teens. In adults, phimosis is caused by infection, inflammation, a skin condition or a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI).
Over time, the foreskin will separate from the head of the penis. This is a natural process and occurs over 5 to 10 years. It slowly loosens up (retracts) a little at a time. Normal erections during childhood cause most of the change by stretching the foreskin.
Therefore, when the foreskin is narrowed, the male penis will be more sensitive than usual and very easy to ejaculate even with slight stimulation, which not only makes the partner unsatisfied, but also makes the partner unsatisfied. More severe can affect reproductive function.
Eventually, the foreskin should be retracted far enough during urination to see the meatus (the hole where the urine comes from). This prevents urine from building up beneath the foreskin and possibly causing an infection.

Expected Duration. Phimosis in a young child is likely to improve on its own. In adults, phimosis will not go away unless surgery is performed or an infection is treated.
The foreskin should be able to retract readily at all points in life after infancy. It should be able to retract to allow for full erections. Unfortunately, there are no exercises I can recommend to help with this. There is a steroid cream that can be very helpful to relax the tissue and allow for better retraction.
Shake your penis to empty out any remaining urine droplets. Gently dab or wipe any remaining droplets with soft tissue paper.
But foreskin retraction should never be forced. Until the foreskin fully separates, do not try to pull it back. Forcing the foreskin to retract before it is ready can cause severe pain, bleeding, and tears in the skin.
Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin can't be retracted (pulled back) from around the tip of the penis. A tight foreskin is common in baby boys who aren't circumcised, but it usually stops being a problem by the age of 3. Phimosis can occur naturally or be the result of scarring.
