Question

I'm 24 and dealing with really tight foreskin due to phimosis is there any non-surgical way to treat this? I'm worried about my condition and curious if stretching or creams might help instead of going straight to surgery.

Another effective alternate cure for phimosis is topical corticosteroids in the form of creams, ointments, or gels. Using these steroid creams for phimosis about 6-8 weeks improves the condition of phimosis in most cases. Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin.
