If you don't want to read the whole article, you can just read the summary at the end.
Phimosis creams
There are basically 2 types of creams that can be used to treat phimosis. One is a steroid cream containing betamethasone and the other is non-steroidal, something like e45. The fundamental role of a phimosis cream is to increase the elasticity of the foreskin and keep the area healthy.
1. Steroid Cream
If there is anything that can help cure phimosis as quickly as possible, it will be a steroid cream. The steroid cream we are talking about here is betamethasone cream, betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% or 0.1%
Most people with phimosis have found good results using steroid creams.
But this comes with a catch, the foreskin is a sensitive part of our body and the foreskin can be easily manipulated in a child than when you are an adult. This has also been observed by us, using only steroid cream will not be of any help unless you combine it with foreskin stretching exercises and also use phimosis rings.
What exactly does steroid cream do?
Phimosis steroid cream helps loosen the foreskin, it reduces rigidity and increases flexibility of the foreskin. Phimosis Steroid Cream actually reduces or almost stops collagen formation where it is applied, here the foreskin. It is essential to remove collagen because it is collagen that gives the skin its elasticity and elasticity. This allows the foreskin to relax and thus helps it slide easily over the glans.
How and when to use?
Steroid cream for phimosis is best used when applied at night and left on overnight.
It should be applied to the foreskin and never below. A small, pea-sized portion of cream is enough to apply to the foreskin.
The cream should be applied from the tip of the foreskin to the glans and applied only once a day, better yet once every 2 days. The steroid cream can have its effect for more than 48 hours from application.
If you are using phimosis rings (which you need for faster and longer-lasting results), apply the cream after using the phimosis rings. Make sure to clean the inside and outside of the foreskin with lukewarm water and wipe off the water with a towel before applying the steroid cream overnight.
Word of caution
Excessive use of steroid cream can damage the foreskin, it is a topical steroid, you should be careful while using it. This is why most countries do not allow steroid cream to be sold over the counter and you will need a prescription to purchase it from pharmacies.

Phimosis oils
The best oils are those that lubricate the best. Guess what type of oils are the best lubricants? Extra virgin coconut oil, extra virgin castor oil, emu oil and zinc castor oil.
4. Extra virgin coconut oil
In an extremely sensitive area like the foreskin and glans, only the best you would want to apply. Studies indicate that extra virgin coconut oil is best for treating phimosis for these reasons:
The fatty acids in extra-virgin coconut oil help prevent fungal growth in the groin area and keep the skin and the entire area healthy.
It is cheap, easy to use, natural and easily available everywhere.
Why only extra-virgin?
In fact, only extra virgin coconut oil is cold pressed and free of impurities. Only extra virgin coconut oil has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
Useful for the sensitive glans
Many people with phimosis also have an extremely sensitive glans, so sensitive that even touching it sends shivers down the spine, if this is you then coconut oil and castor oil are the only ones things that can help you here.
Now for a healthy sex life you need a glans that is not so sensitive, and to do this you will have to apply coconut oil before doing stretching exercises so that the Foreskin is sufficiently lubricated, you will also need to pour some oil inside your foreskin so that it reaches the glans and also lubricates the glans.
Use one of your fingers and try to touch the glans (note that there should be a small layer of coconut oil on the glans). Doing this repeatedly 10 to 20 times a day will help gradually reduce the sensitivity of the glans.
However, for treating sensitive glans, extra virgin castor oil is better than coconut oil due to its higher viscosity.
How and when to use?
Extra virgin coconut oil is essentially a natural lubricant, so you'll use it when using phimosis treatment rings and during stretching exercises. Coconut oil can be applied both inside and outside the foreskin and throughout the groin area. This will only help keep the area healthy and free of fungus.

5. Extra-virgin castor oil
Cold-pressed extra virgin castor oil is an excellent substitute for topical steroids and skin care cosmetics. If you're looking to treat phimosis naturally at home, extra virgin castor oil is your best bet.
Although their antifungal content is not as high as creams, it is higher in a (natural) oil.
Why only extra-virgin?
Indeed, only cold-pressed extra virgin castor oil free of impurities will contain the effective properties for the treatment of phimosis.
Ideal for the sensitive glans
We have already mentioned in the section on extra virgin coconut oil why and how it works.
The main advantage of castor oil over coconut oil is that the castor molecules are thick enough that they do not penetrate the skin and therefore are not absorbed. This helps to make a layer of castor oil on the glans when applied on it. Since there is a thick layer formed, it is easier to practice touching the glans with your finger.
How and when to use?
The usage is the same as coconut oil.
