Brief Answer: Local retraction with anesthesia Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX There are no lotions to solve this issue. The most likely problem is a prepucium (that small piece of skin) that does not completely retract; usually, there is some fibrosis of that foreskin, and adhesions that need to be taken care of. A surgical circumcision would of course, take care of that problem, but short of that, a urologist should examine you to see if the foreskin will allow retraction under anesthesia; in children, this is common, and retraction can be performed without much difficulty. Hope that helps, wish you the best, Dr Brenes-Salazar MD Mayo Clinic MN
