Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams to reduce inflammation and improve foreskin elasticity, manual stretching exercises to gradually loosen the foreskin, and, if an infection is present, antibiotics or antifungal creams

I've been noticing that I get these small scars on the foreskin of my penis. They seem to heal pretty quickly, like in 2 to 3 days, but then they reappear especially after having sex. I'm kinda worried about this cycle. Any idea what's going on and how I can stop this from happening?
