Bear with me and I'll explain what this is, how it happened and what the cures are.
What he has is pathological phimosis. Now every doctor and every medical association will tell you that circumcision prevents phimosis.
But!
In the last decade or so, doctors recognized that the tight circumcisions that they were doing were causing many problems for adult men. It only took them a century to recognize this. They changed the way they do them to leave more remnant foreskin to avoid the problems but they only exchanged one set of problems for another set of problems. Now with these loose circumcisions, pathological phimosis occurs far more often in circumcised boys than it does in intact boys. Imagine that! What has happened is that the circumcision is so loose that that remnant foreskin covers the glans and the circumcision scar is now at the tip of the glans. That scar tissue has shrunken and has become non-elastic causing the glans to be trapped in the remnant foreskin and a bona fide case of pathological phimosis.
This is the treatment options:
There is a possibility that it can be treated non-surgically. I have found nothing in the medical records that documents it but, a prescription of topical betamethesone 0.05% may resolve the problen. Betamethesone is a steroid that has not been associated with any side effects so unlike some steroids, it is very to absolutely safe. It is used to allow skin to stretch and grow in preparation for skin graft surgeries and it may have the same effect for J's nephew's problem. If it doesn't work, another circumcision is in order for J's nephew.
The reason it hurts J's nephew is because the skin that would have allowed for erections has been cut away and is gone. There is no longer enough room for expansion and that hurts!
Hopefully this will work but it sure knocks the idea of circumcising to prevent the need for a later circumcision in the head. J's nephew could have lived his entire life without a circumcision and now it appears that he might get two.
