Brief Answer:
Possible diagnosis: Phimosis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for the query at HealthcareMagic
Tight band/ring around the foreskin is called phimosis. It may be an isolated problem or due to a result of the scarring.
You can try retracting foreskin gently every day, which can help relaxing the foreskin.
If it is persistent after trying retracting foreskin for few weeks, then a complete circumcision is recommended for a total relief.
