My penis doesn't fully retract when erect but works fine when flaccid are there any non-surgical options to help with this? Worried it might cause issues and looking for alternatives.

Phimosis during erection may need stretching creams or steroid ointments; surgery only if tightness worsens or pain persists.

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.
