Hello, I am a 22 years old boy. The head of my penis is not getting covered by the skin again. Means the tip of the penis is uncovered even the penis is not erected. What is this condition. What should be done?

Phimosis is a condition of the penis that occurs in some adults and children who aren't circumcised. If you have phimosis, your foreskin can't be pulled back (retracted). It may look like your penis has rings around the tip. Having phimosis isn't necessarily a problem. A tight foreskin is normal in babies and young boys. Most boys' foreskins do not pull back (retract) before the age of 5, but sometimes it's not possible until they're 10 or older.
