I've been dealing with phimosis and heard steroid creams might help which ones actually work and how do you use them properly? Is surgery the only option if the creams don't help, or are there other treatments? How long does it usually take to see improvement with the creams?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Steroid creams can be an effective conservative treatment for phimosis, reducing inflammation and loosening the foreskin to facilitate retraction. Betamethasone, hydrocortisone, and triamcinolone are commonly used according to Medscape. Surgery is generally considered the gold standard for adults, while creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. Improvement with steroid creams can be seen within 4-8 weeks, with a higher success rate when combined with stretching exercises.

View allI'm really curious and a bit worried about the thickness of my penis. It's around 6.8 inches in length, which I'm okay with, but I'm interested in increasing the girth naturally at home. I don't want to use any medical or homeopathic treatments. Are there effective ways or tips you could suggest for this?

I've been feeling this burning sensation inside the skin of my penis after masturbating, and it's kind of worrying me. Plus, after a while, there's this white substance that appears when I move the skin, and honestly, it's pretty uncomfortable and making it hard for me to masturbate. What could this be, and should I be concerned about it?
it might be some fungal infection,keep that area clean. Avoid moisture in that area
