Answered by Dr. Matthew J. Mangat (4 hours later)

Brief Answer:
partly retractable foreskin, is partial phimosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,

In complete phimosis,the foreskin can't be retracted back at all.
Surgical treatment is best treatment.

In partial phimosis, the foreskin can be retracted, partly over the head of penis.
This situation may not require a surgical treatment.
Medical treatment can be tried for such cases.

Hope your doubts are cleared.
Wish you well.
