I'm dealing with phimosis and really don't want to get surgery. Can you tell me if betamethasone cream is available at local pharmacies without a prescription? Also, which brand or type would be most effective? I'm really stressed about this and need some guidance to manage it.

Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.Yes, phimosis can often be managed without surgery. Non-surgical treatments like topical steroid creams, gentle stretching exercises, and maintaining good penile hygiene can be effective, especially in children. For adults, similar treatments can be tried, and in some cases, balloon dilation might be an option

View allI'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft.

I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.

I'm 19 and dealing with scrotal calcinosis there are about 34 medium-sized cysts and a few new ones starting to form. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? I'm really worried about it getting worse.
While scrotal calcinosis is a condition that may require surgery for definitive treatment, especially when cosmetic concerns arise, there are some alternative approaches that may be considered before surgery. These include observation, laser therapy, and cryotherapy, depending on the severity and location of the calcinosis.

I've been having rashes and white discharge on my penis and my urologist recommended circumcision surgery. I'm not sure I want to go through with surgery could this be something like trichomoniasis instead? Who should I see to explore other treatment options?
Uneven breast size is common and often hormonal; for non-surgical options, consider proper bra fitting or consult an endocrinologist or plastic surgeon for evaluation.
