I was 15 a few days ago and I was never told to retract my foreskin when young. I am able to stretch it a little i.e. I know I would be capable of masturbation as I tried it once before. I think it would probably be painful if I just yanked it back as once I pull it back a certain distance it begins to feel uncomfortable( P.S. I wouldn't like to go see a doctor he is a very strange man, what should I do?)

Lots of guys can't fully retract their foreskins until they are 18, so don't stress over it. You can help things along by gentle stretching.
In a warm bath, hook a finger on each side of the foreskin and pull until it's just slightly uncomfortable, and hold for a minute or so. Let it relax and then repeat. Later you can do the same thing dry, maybe using some lube. Don't pull until it hurts a lot, though, or that could make it worse. Do this every time you have a chance - like every time you pee - for a couple of weeks. If it's no better after two weeks, go to the doctor (can you see a different one?) and ask for some hormone cream to hurry up the process. All doctors, by the way, have seen hundreds of penises, so don't be embarrassed.
You do NOT need a circumcision - some people think that's the cure for everything from dandruff to ingrown toenails, but they're never right. The foreskin is an important body part and should be retained, even if it takes some minor tweaking to make it work optimally.

You appear to have phimosis, which means that your foreskin will not retract fully. This is a serious problem and is best solved by circumcision (complete removal of the foreskin) This should have been done when you were a small baby, but it's never too late to be circumcised. Circumcised men enjoy better hygiene, comfort, freedom from odour, appearance to women, self-esteem and FAR better sex for both themselves and their female partners. Most mature, experienced women who have tried both, definitely prefer circumcised men as sexual partners. It is best that you mention your problem to your mother and tell her that you want to be circumcised - she will understand! Get her to take you to a different doctor to make the necessary arrangements. It does not hurt and you will enjoy the benefits for the rest of your life. Do it now. I know what it's like both ways from personal experience of growing up uncircumcised like you and then having my circumcision as an adult. I wouldn't have a foreskin again for anything in the world!

You just have to slowly ease it back. Dont listen to all the loonies who tell you that it needs to be removed. Your fine. Usually it is able to be pulled back long befor 15, but your not going to need it cut off. Just go to a doctor. If you really dont want to, just ease it back a little everytime you use the bathroom or take a shower. If its not infected (you would know) and your obviously not having sex (because it would be push back) then eventually it will go back with a little work. Dont just pull it back at once or you could hurt yourself. Dont worry to much, but like I said, go see a doctor if you are.
Men all over the world outside the U.S. have foreskin and live just fine with it.

skin does stretch and it will just have to get the hang out it,,, masturbation is a good thing for you body, but then if it really that bad then i would suggest that you go see a urologist, to be honest seeing a doctor early is a good thing better see him while its still early not when its too late and you will be sorry

Get a new doctor if you are uncomfortable with the one you have now. As said above see a urologist. Good luck.

what ever you do, don't ever get circumcised. Just leave it alone. Just stretch it back a little at a time and before long yank it like crazy. Have fun.

Doesn't sound like phimosis to me. I'd work it back and forth, gradually stretch it. It may be a little uncomfortable at first, but I seriously doubt circumcision would feel better :p
If you _cannot_ get it back, then see a urologist.

It'll eventually get stretchier - skin is very elastic. At 15 you should be masturbating like a caged monkey, so just keep at it.
