My foreskin retracts fine when flaccid, but feels tight and doesn’t retract properly when erect.No major pain, but discomfort is there.
Is this normal or a condition like phimosis? Should I see a doctor?

I had this issue for close to over 20 years.
Get circumcised when you can.
I did when I was 38.
I spent almost two decades with skin issues like tearing and peeling and was in constant pain. As you get older, the problem worsens.
It all went away when I got snipped. Sexual activity became far more pleasurable and enjoyable. I avoided getting snipped for so many years bc of the stupidest reasons. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
It’s not normal but talk to a dr. I have the opposite. Mine never goes over the head and looks like I am cut and when hard still looks cut.
A Dr visit is always good if possible for you. If there’s no major pain you can likely stretch it with the proper techniques. They even have kits for it on Amazon. Surgery isn’t necessary.
To answer your question – it is uncommon, but don’t worry. Your case probably isnt that bad. Go see your doctor. They will refer you to a urologist. Urologists see this stuff all day. They will help you. This is fixable. A full circumcision may not even be necessary.
Not sure how old you are but I had this issue when I was 14-17 years old, but the more I masturbated the better it got. Now its pretty much normal… idk how it happened but it got looser and now retracts comfortably.
It’s normal if your foreskin is a little tighter. You’re stretching it, it’s supposed to do that. That said, it shouldn’t cause discomfort at all. I wouldn’t say that it is phimosis, but definitely check that out with your doctor. As others have said, surgery might not even be necessary, only some stretching exercises and cream.
