I've had phimosis since I was born and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat it without going through surgery? I'm not sure what options are out there and I'd like to avoid an operation if possible. Can you suggest any non-surgical treatments that actually work?

Phimosis can be treated with steroid creams like betamethasone plus stretching; if no improvement in weeks, circumcision is safest permanent option.
