My foreskin is too tight to pull back and the doctor said it might be phimosis. Will using a cream help or is surgery the only option?
Topical steroid creams are often the first line of treatment for phimosis, and they can be effective in making the foreskin more pliable and easier to retract. If creams are not sufficient, surgery, such as circumcision or preputioplasty (a less invasive procedure), may be considered
