Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your phimosis could be due to fungus infection.
I would suggest to consult your physician to know severity of phimosis.
For partial phimosis:
Apply hot bath and then apply steroid ointment
And foreskin should be pulled back forcefully under advise of your physician.
If it will not responds to above treatment then circumcision is require
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene
Daily wash with warm water by pulling the foreskin back
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
