There are some new alternatives for treatment of phimosis.

Moderately potent topical steroids are just as effective as highly potent ones for treating phimosis and offer a lower risk of side effects, new research suggests.

Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin opening is too small for it to be pulled back over the head of the penis. Phimosis can affect 8 percent of boys between the ages of 6 and 7. Although phimosis can resolve by itself, it is often treated by circumcision, in which the foreskin is surgically removed.
