Hello,
You are just 16. Secondary puberty characteristics develop up to an age of 20 and therefore all your worries will be addressed in due course.
Don't worry about your hair growth. You can retract your foreskin with proper exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr K. V. Anand, Psychologist
