You can wait upto 7yrs to treat phimosis as it's normal before that. Unless the child is getting repeated uti in absence of other causes
Next Steps
Even then, there are steroid ointments that can be applied for some weeks to loosen the foreskin
Health Tips
Only if above fails is a surgery for circumcision required
