My foreskin won't stretch or open properly are there any creams or gels available in India to help with this? I really want to avoid surgery if possible.

Yes, Indian steroid creams like Betnovate-N or Clobetasol help phimosis—combine with daily stretching under urologist’s advice.

View allMy 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.

How can I tell if my phimosis is congenital or developed as an adult also does having phimosis mean I'm impotent and can congenital phimosis be treated with betamethasone cream instead of surgery
Phimosis, whether congenital (present at birth) or acquired (developing later in life), does not automatically mean you are impotent. Congenital phimosis can sometimes be treated with topical corticosteroids like betamethasone cream, but surgery may still be necessary.
