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.
