Hi, lately i have truly began to understand the condition of "phimosis." I am 15 years old and im not completely sure of the level of severity of my tight foreskin. I cannot retract it even halfway down my glans when flaccid or during an erection. im 100% sure i DO NOT want circumcision. The only consolation i have is that when i was younger, i went to see a urologist about my problem and he prescribed me a cream and to do stretches daily. However, back than, i did not understand why and thought it was a wste of time so i stopped doing it (however, back than i was able to get the foreskin down past half of my glans). However, i recently have restarted to stretch my foreskin in the shower (but without the cream, i lost it along time ago) and it seems to be working..only a bit though.
Can someone tell me what is the best way i should be stretching? how long? and how severe my tight foreskin is? is circumcision really a good option?

phimosis treatment
You should continue with the beclomethasone creme. If you had continued to use it along with the stretching excercises then your problem would now be resolved, most likely.
I would NOT resort to anything major such as cirumcision, which is totally unnecessary in my opinion. Hope you are successful with your treatment, the thing is you have to not give up on what your doctor told you to do.

phimosis treatment
Well I'm not a doctor, and I don't have phmimosis, but their is another thread on these forums about phimosis stretching. The guy who started the other thread seems to be an expert on it, he cured his, you should read it and do what he says to do, he seems to know what he is talking about!

hope this help
hey mike i don't know if you'll get this message but i just wanted to give some help. i had the same condition you do, i am now 20 years old. all i did was stretching in the shower from age 17. now im fine with no problems except that my glands are extremely sensitive. cons of that are quicker climax and bit of discomfort but with time like everyone else it will get less sensitive and the pros are better in the long run. i stretched once a day while showering. the stretching i did was taking both index fingers and placing them just inside the foreskin along the phimotic ring and pulling outwards slighty but be careful because its easy to make small tears causing whitish scars. take it slow the ring will stretch out, you really dont need creme unless you have a severe condition. hope everything works out for you. also i had fernulum breve but cured with stretching and not going to lie, stretching during masturbation.

Tight foreskin simple remedy
My 8yrs old son has found a great technique to stretch its tight foreskin and it may work for some of you. When he goes wee wee, he holds his foreskin and the wee inside for a few seconds before releasing it. He could not pull his foreskin down before and now I'm amazed, he can! I'm so glad we dont have to think of circumcision anymore... Give it a try guys, good luck.
