Brief Answer:
Use lignocaine 1% and Mometasone. Visit a Urologist for scar correction.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

It's common in circumcised men, when the technique of circumcision does not adequately remove the excess frenulum. This is called as a skin tag. You can get the circumcision scar revised and loosened by a urologist. Another common issue
is the scar constricting the erection at the corona of the penis.

Right now, I would suggest that you use a local anesthetic gel like lignocaine 1%

I suggest that you use mometasone furoate, a steroid cream that loosens the skin. Avoid other lubricants and do check if the lubricant that you are using has any chemicals that cause irritation.

This will fix the issue.
