I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.

Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain

I'm kind of worried about my foreskin. It's become swollen and there are some cut-like marks on it. It's been like this for about a month now. Its difficult to move the foreskin back and there's a burning sensation when I touch the area. Could you suggest some medicine or what I should do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal and anti-inflammatory cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg to help with the burning sensation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further irritation. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
