Hi,

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. This condition is called phimosis, and treatment options are medical and surgical. So let us start with medical treatment. Here are my suggestions, you can apply a steroidal cream like Betnovate 1 % (Betamethasone Valerate) thrice daily for six weeks and you can start pulling the foreskin after two weeks gradually up to full retraction after six weeks.

I hope this treatment will work well with you. If you have any more queries, please let me know.

Kind regards.
