Hello everyone, I’m 19M and just visited the doctors because I can’t retract my foreskin all the way back and never could. It usually reveals maybe half of the head and that’s about it. I went to the doctor, to which he confirmed it was indeed phimosis.

He gave me cream called “cortopin 1%” and told me to use it once daily, and to check back in 4 weeks, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll probably have to get circumcised.

I do not want to get circumcised at all. I disagree with it completely, and if the worst comes to worst and this cream has no effect, I’ll consider a preputioplasty.

Anyway, does anyone have any tips or advice on what I should do with this cream to maximise the results?
