My penis doesn't fully retract when erect but works fine when flaccid are there any non-surgical options to help with this? Worried it might cause issues and looking for alternatives.

Phimosis during erection may need stretching creams or steroid ointments; surgery only if tightness worsens or pain persists.

My foreskin is really tight and hard, making it difficult to pull back. Is this something serious? Do I need surgery to fix it?

A tight foreskin, known as phimosis, is not always a cause for concern, especially in children, as it can naturally loosen as they grow. However, if it's painful, prevents proper hygiene, or leads to complications, it may require treatment, which could include steroid creams or, in some cases, surgery.
