I have type 2 partial retraction where I can pull the foreskin back a bit but it won't go past the head of my penis and I also have a tight frenulum is there any way to fix this without getting circumcision

Topical steroid creams and frenulum-stretching techniques may help. Circumcision is only needed if it interferes with function or causes tears.
