>1.Stretching without steroid - Is it just temporary improvement after you stop doing it?
The stretching exercises should continue for a couple of months after the desired amount of mobility has been achieved. The skin cells need time to build. Once the cells have filled in and mobility is exercised regularly, there should be no further problem. Take a look at obese people, they have no problem containing their fat, and those who lose weight very rapidly, as through surgical procedures, tend to keep the extra skin. It doesn't just retreat.
>2.Stretching with steroid - Is it just temporary improvement after you stop doing it?
You should continue with stretching for a couple of months after discontinuing treatment.
>3.If you already have phimosis, can BXO happen?
Quit your concern about this very rare condition. Even those who have it don't need necessarily to succomb to circumcision.
