Hi, I'm 15 and I have tight foreskin, also my Frenulum is red and seems inflammated at the Urethra opening... I feel awkward to ask my parents about it and go to the doctor to check it out.. But is there any chance that there's some home remedies for it? Thanks :)

1. history provided by you requires urgent examination from a surgeon, since problem is with genitalia, most probably phimosis/paraphimosis
2. majority of boys will have a retractile foreskin by 10 years of age and 95% by 16-17 years of age, [15 years age of you] so even if 2 years are there, still you have to go to a doctor to straighten things out.
3. Long standing infection of foreskin [balanoposthitis] may also lead to said condition of contraction. [so surgical opinion/examination is necessary
PS. A swab may be taken to confirm the nature of infection
4. since it is an urological emergency, thus do not try to reduce/manipulate yourself, seek medical help.
PS. Failure to remove the constricting band will result in necrosis of the glans.
