Dear john,
The tight foreskin could be due to lichen sclerosis and the white patch is probably scarring or fibrosis from the same condition. You should ask your GP/family doctor to refer you to a urologist to confirm the diagnosis and to start you on some treatment, which would usually be a strong steroid cream such as Dermovate.

I have been considering a circumcision but if it is that will the steroid cream clear then problem because I'm worried how it will impact any future relationships. I may go straight to a urologist.

Hi,
I think we've gone round in circles over the past few months discussing the pros and cons of circumcision with you. It's probably best to speak to a specialist at this stage as all you'll get from this forum is a rehearsal of the same arguments, with different proponents of stretching and surgery in their corners...
Sorry to be so negative but I really think you need to pull the trigger and get some proper medical advice in person.
