'''Stretching''' of the tight foreskin is a well-known and the recommended treatment of [[phimosis]] and [[paraphimosis]].

== Methods ==
Human skin can be stretched and normally returns to its normal size and position. But when stretching is done over a longer period of time, chances are that this stretching causes new skin cells to grow. We all know this from the skin which covers e.g. the human stomach or the breast area.

=== Fingers ===
Where the phimosis is very mild it may be possible to stretch the foreskin by pulling it back tightly against the head of the penis. Or the fingers can be inserted into the opening and used to stretch the foreskin. If the foreskin is only slightly tight, a minor case of phimosis, then the stretching can be accomplished using fingers inserted into the opening in the foreskin and applying outward pressure.<ref>{{REFweb
