Just a few questions.

ive got 'pinhole phimosis' judging by most of the information i have researced and at the moment i am unsure of what to do. I have probably had this condition for a few years now. Since then it has gradually narrowed to what i assume is pinhole phimosis and has remained this way for a while. I have seeked a doctor a couple of times a few years ago and he said that it would just go away by itself (i dont think he knew what it was), and it hasnt gone away. I am still a teenager and quite confused what to do. I dont know how to tell my parents that this "complication" hasnt gone after this long (probably what id find the hardest) and i dont know what treatments theyd offer here in australia.

So, i was wondering what is this topical cream? would it be available here? cost? and is it just 'over the counter' medicine?

Also just out of curisotiy i was wondering what are the stats for this condition? 1 in ?, it just seems that it is a very hard condition to find useful info on which doesnt contradict something else.

Finally; if i leave this untreated what may happen?

If you can answer any of these or all of these questions it would be largely appreciated.
Thankyou.
