If its is not retracting as an adult its better to undergo circumcision. Dorsal slit is an option but it will look odd n again is a surgical option.

It's better to opt for circumcision. Der is no other option. Paraphimosis and unable to retract the foreskin is an indication for circumcision. Kindly consult a surgeon n get it operated
