What Causes Tightness In The Foreskin With Pain In The Penis?

About four months ago, My son, 7years old, experienced some pain in his penile. upon review by a doctor, he was found to have a tight foreskin, medically known as phimosis. He was given some betamethasone cream to apply, once a day, which greatly helped and the penile could easily open up. Unfortunately, this cream can only be used for a period not exceeding 10 days because it is a steroid. Now, the skin is getting tight again and cannot pull back. No pains experienced. Apart from circumcision, what other treatment can be given? At 7 years, his penile size, i think, is also very small. does this size have to do with his tight foreskin?
