I have Phimosis. real answers only?
Question:
Answers:
Both of those work. With some people (like me) just stretching it back and washing it good in the shower (only for a few seconds) worked. Others may need the cream. I posted this in another thread, but it should address what you're concerned.
Also, if you're just 13, this is rather common, since you've just started 'using' your penis for masturbation and cleaning. I think the more you use it the better it'll get, like it was for me.
Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).
And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.
If you have questions, e-mail me from my profile since I've gone through this. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
You could try stretching methods or other exercises that can help you alieviate your problem. I wouldn't rule out circumcision, not only would you cure phimosis but you would enjoy the benefits that come along with being circumcised. Circumcision has been proven to be more hygienic. The forskin can harbor infections.
great that you want to keep yourself natural. stretching and the cream are a great idea.
Both the stretching exercises and the cream(s) work, pretty well actually. They tend to work even better when combined, but this isn't always necessary. In fact, pretty much all but the most severe phimosis can be cured by either or both of these treatments.
See the links below for info on the both of them, and general info on phimosis in general. Good luck with whatever you decide to try.
