Idk what my issue is. I obviously have phimosis. But I think my skin is scarred. I also have such a big over hang / excess skin and it makes it difficult to see the phimotic band. The fore skins is also like hooded. Idk if I have a short frenlum too.

Why do you think there are scars? They would be at the tip, but the photo isn't clear enough. There is no excess skin; perhaps you are confusing it with your foreskin. If you have retracted the foreskin as far as possible and it is stuck, then you do have phimosis, and the phimotic band is at the tip of the foreskin. However, you can treat it using exercises, rings, devices, and/or creams. Provide more information, and better advice can be given.

It’s weird because if I use some Cocunut oil and pull it with a bit more force ( not too much) I can actually get the foreskin over the majority of the head. But the band is tight & not comfortable. So I’m hoping my progress is better than what the photo shows. I’m planning to be consistent with my stretching everyday and I’m hoping 6 months will be enough to cure it to relative level. Do you think this is a realistic timeline?

Don't make it hurt though because that is a warning of damage. You'll get micro tears which will eventually scar up and then it gradually makes it more difficult to stretch, so it will take longer.

From that angle looks like pinhole phimosis, you need to stretch to be able to see the phimotic band.

You might want to see about the medical balloon from Novoglan, It helped me with my pinhole phimosis.

When you pull back and it starts to hurt, the exact place it hurts is the band. You may not be able to see it yet because the opening is quite small. I wouldn't say it's severe pinhole. I would begin with silicone rings. You have enough resting baseline diamater to fit a ring. Start off with twenty minutes a day, if your skin doesn't hurt the next day, increase to on hour. After a few weeks you should be able to move up to the next rihg. It is a long process starting from a small opening but it will stretch. Find yourself a cream with oxygenated olive oil and vitamin E. It will help reduce inflammation and improve the overall skin health. Healthy skin with expand faster.
