Foreskin normal or not?

At what age is the foreskin expected to ‘detach’ so to speak? DS11 has been worried and I don’t know what the usual age is or if medical intervention is needed.

Is it causing him issues?
Can happen around puberty time or before.

Maybe get him to see a GP. Can sometimes be given a cream and stretching exercises to help

Is there any cream that is available from a pharmacy or does it have to be prescribed?

I think its some sort of steroid cream. Likely needs a prescription
