XXXXXX,

You may have a condition called phimosis, whjich is a tightening of the foreskin over the penis. Please check the website provided for further information. This condition may cause the need for circumcision, but there are methods to attempt to stretch the foreskin, as you have found with warm soapy water. If urination is difficult you need to consult with your physician.
