My foreskin doesn't retract like it should it's not super tight but still won't go back. I'd rather avoid surgery are there any medications or treatments that could help with this?

If your foreskin isn't fully retracting and you'd like to avoid surgery, a topical steroid cream or ointment is often recommended. These medications can help soften and loosen the foreskin, making retraction easier. In some cases, gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial.

View allI'm dealing with phimosis and a bit of frenulum breve, and it's causing issues during sex. Should I consider circumcision or preputioplasty? What would be the better option for me, and how much would the surgery cost?
Phimosis with frenulum breve may improve with creams and stretching; preputioplasty is less invasive than circumcision and often preferred.

I've been diagnosed with phimosis and I'm not sure what to do should I consider laser surgery or are there natural treatments that might work? I'm a bit worried about the risks and recovery time with surgery but also want something effective
For phimosis, non-surgical treatments like steroid creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. If these aren't effective, surgical options like circumcision or preputioplasty might be considered. Laser circumcision offers a minimally invasive surgical alternative with potential benefits like faster healing

I've been looking for a local dermatologist and found some profiles that mention they're also sexologists. I'm a bit unsure though, can I talk to them about male sexual issues? I'm not too comfortable going anywhere in person right now. What sort of sexual problems can a dermatologist handle if they're saying they are a sexologist too? Are they able to treat things like PE and ED?
