Do not try to remove foreskin at home
Do not cut, tear, or force the foreskin back
Do not use sharp tools, scissors, blades, or chemicals
If the foreskin is tight, painful, swollen, or stuck, seek a doctor or urologist
If you cannot urinate, have severe pain, bleeding, or swelling, get urgent medical care
For hygiene, gently wash the outside with warm water only
If the foreskin retracts naturally without pain, rinse underneath gently and return it to its normal position
Avoid forcing retraction during cleaning or sex
Ask a healthcare professional about safe medical options such as topical treatment or circumcision if needed
