Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My son has phimosis on his penis. He is 13 years old. Should I buy phimosis steroid cream for him and start the treatment now, or wait until he is at a specific age to start treatment?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, if you are sure it is phimosis, you can buy the steroid cream available over-the-counter (OTC) and apply it daily as it helps reduce inflammation and soften the skin, thus helping relieve the symptoms. If you do not see any improvement, see a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. It was my pleasure to help you today.
Best wishes.
