For one month baby, it is physiological, normal phenomenon. Don't meddle. If urine stream is good, don't worry. If it is red or swollen, consult pediatrician

Hello,
Small foreskin of penis ok till ine year of age provided it's not causing any infection.

Keep the area clean.

You'll need to meet a pediatric surgeon, who will examine your baby and advise if circumcision is required or not.

If stream of urine is normal and no double stream or bulging .
Nothing required
Don't even force pull the skin it will harm instead
