Hello doctor, I think I may have phimosis. My foreskin does not pull back at all over the head of my penis. There is no pain, swelling, or infection, but it has always been this way. I just want to know if this needs treatment, and whether stretching or creams can help. I'm not looking for surgery unless it's necessary. Thank you.
