Yes you can. You can stretch it or get a cream that works in over 90% of cases. I did it myself and now it's perfect. I posted this in another thread it should help.

Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).

And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.

If you have questions, e-mail me from my profile since I've gone through this. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

There are many ways to loosen a tight foreskin (a condition called phimosis).

The first thing to try are stretching exercises. See link 1 for good and detailed instructions on what to do. You should do these exercises for a few minutes each day for a few weeks to a month, preferrably right after a bath/shower when the skin's most flexible.

If after a month and there's little/no progress, ask a doctor about certain prescription creams that can loosen the foreskin. In one study, these creams are the most cost-effective treatment a doctor can provide (link 2, names of creams in one of the tables).

Both of the above treatments may take up to a month to get the full effect, but if you combine them the process of loosening the foreskin will almost always go quicker. If worse comes to worst, there are rather conservative operations. This doesn't mean a circumcision, as there are procedures that are cheaper, remove little/no foreskin, are less painful, and have a quicker recovery time (link 3).

In any case, any surgery should be regarded as a last resort. In almost all cases of a tight foreskin the stretching exercises and/or creams will work. See the remaining links for more info and good luck with whatever you try.

Seek advice from your doctor who is qualified, trained, and licensed to give you proper answers. People on this site are not.
