Tightening of the foreskin

It's been an ongoing problem I've had for more or less 5 months. It started pretty mild but has become extremely frustrating. My foreskin originally had tightened a little. Within a week or so, it was ok, but some cuts were left behind so I applied some polysporin. When the cuts healed, there was a ring of skin that had lost it's elasticity. Since then, I have either not been able to retract my foreskin or it has been extremely difficult. I have seen my GP and he said that circumcision might be the only way to go. I have an appointment with a urologist to see what other options I have. I believe it to me a balanitis. My frenulum also has either a cut or a wound and has become hardened. Please if anyone has any advice on how I can regain elasticity or at least regain the ability to retract my foreskin I would appreciate it a lot! I do not want a circumcision if I don't absolutely need one. Although, not being able to have any penetration sex is starting to change my mind a little. Thank you in advance.
