Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Healthcaremagic.com.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Adult phimosis can be treated conservatively or surgically.
No tablets or capsules are found to be useful. However, local application of steroids for 4-6 weeks with gentle stretching of foreskin are useful in some individuals. 0.05% or 0.1% Betamethasone ointments used couple of times daily gives good results.
But if it is ineffective, surgical interventions in form of circumcision or in some cases, frenuloplasty is required.

Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
