Hi, 26 and I’ve had phimosis my whole life. I have type 4 but after some stretch when I was young I was able to pull it back all the way to clean it. However, I’ve never been able to have unprotected sex without experience a lot of pain.

I went to one PCP that prescribed me 0.05% Betamethasone. Later, I had a dermatology appointment and he said I should see urologist and that circumcision / partial circumcision might help and that I should only use the steroid if I experience severe tightness or something.

I haven’t tried the Betamethasone yet but now I’m getting second thoughts. Has anyone else been in my position? What should I do? I really want to avoid circumcision at my age but I also don’t want to risk damaging anything.
