Phimosis can range from tight foreskin, that cannot be retracted fully to expose the glans penis, to pinpoint phimosis where the foreskin completely covers the glans penis.
For those men who are still able to retract the foreskin, topical steroids can be used to soften the foreskin for a period of 3-4 weeks. I would not advise for a protracted course of steroids as the skin would become discoloured and overly thinned out.
Circumcision would be the treatment of choice for men with phimosis. Make a trip down to see a urologist today.
