In many cases of phimosis, the prescribed steroid cream can help loosen the foreskin gradually over several weeks when applied consistently as directed by your doctor.

Surgery (circumcision or preputioplasty) is typically recommended when the cream does not provide sufficient improvement, or if there are recurrent infections, pain, or urinary difficulties. It is best to follow up with your doctor to assess your response to the cream and decide if surgical intervention is needed.
