A member asked:
Can you use neosporin ointment to treat phimosos instead of using steroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The most common cause of phimosis is recurrent infection/inflammation and this is usually fungal in this area. I find best results with combined anti fungal and steroid cream. In rare instances neosporin could benefit.

A member asked:
My 3 year old has been diagnosed with phimosis. I've been to a specialist and they recommend surgery or manual manipulation with steroid cream. My question is whether all this is necessary at all? I've read that most phimosis cases go away by itself?
