foreskin retraction

Written by Sasha at 12 Apr 2004 06:28:43:

First of all, after visiting several forums such as this one, I believe I have the condition known as phimosis, that is, I find it very difficult to retract my foreskin. I've read that this can be solved in most cases by applying a steroid cream, yes?
A second, and I believe a much more serious problem I have is my foreskin cannot be retracted further than about halfway along the glans - it seems my forskin is still attatched to the underside of the glans by a length of skin. Not sure how to describe it more accurately. I am 17 years of age by the way. Do I require surgery? Is there an alternative to surgery?
Also, I heard that a deficiency of a certain vitamin can cause problems with the development of the reproductive system. If so, could this be the cause of my problem? And could recieving doses of the vitamin be an alternative to surgery?
I would appreciate any advice you could give
