Question

My brother has partial phimosis and we're considering surgery but I was wondering if there's a cream or tablet that could help loosen the skin so he can retract it fully without needing an operation

Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin. This makes it easier to retract the foreskin without experiencing severe pain or discomfort. Just apply the cream or ointment in the area around the head of the penis twice or thrice a day
