What causes foreskin to hang off?

Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin is too tight and cannot be retracted over the glans of the penis. This can be caused by a number of factors, including:

* Inflammation: Inflammation of the foreskin, such as from an infection or balanitis, can cause it to become swollen and tight.

* Scarring: Scarring from an injury or surgery can also cause the foreskin to become tight.

* Birth defects: Some men are born with a tight foreskin.

Phimosis can be a problem because it can make it difficult to clean the penis and can also cause pain during intercourse. In some cases, phimosis can also lead to balanitis and other infections.

Treatment for phimosis typically involves topical steroids or surgery. Topical steroids can help to reduce inflammation and swelling, while surgery can be used to loosen the foreskin.
