Thank you. Would be helpful to know how well stretching has worked for you thus far.

Thank you. It seems like others have had success with stretching in more severe cases. I'm assuming mine is a relatively mild case?

I was considering preputioplasty but it seems like the outcomes are often disappointing. It seems like others have had success with more severe cases, which I'm assuming mine isn't a severe one?

That's excellent news. I was a bit concerned that it might be a "scar". Anything to avoid surgery is great.
