What are the main symptoms of phimosis and what are the best treatments excluding circumcision?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Circumcision is best: Glans skin will become less sensitive as time goes by after circumcision. You might like to try steriod cream such as Betamethasone or kenalog (triamcinolone). They relieve phimosis in about 5)% after twice daily applications to the tight phomotic foreskin, but many initial successes recur. A prepucioplasty, or dorsal slit is a surgical alternative which preserves the foreskin.

Betamethasone: Betamethasone cream has be used very effectively for treatment of phimosis in children and adults. It is safe, easy to apply and cost effective. In most published protocols, it is used twice daily for up to 4 weeks.
