Was your phimosis diagnosed by a doctor?
If you have not been to a urologist yet,
please go. He will be able to diagnose
what is causing the itching and whether or
not you actually have phimosis.

Phimosis is pretty easy to spot. I
currently have it. If your foreskin
doesn't retract over the head, that's
essentially it. It can be painful in some
cases. I'm not sure what the itching might
be about. There's a possibility that you
may have some fibres (pubic hair or
material) trapped behind the foreskin. I
would get it checked out staight away if
it was causing irritability.

If you're young however and still going
through puberty, your foreskin isn't
supposed to retract. Phimosis isn't
something that can really be diagnosed
until you're done with puberty, unless the
ring at the foreskin tip is really, really
tight.
