Phimosis at your age needs clinical examination by an urologist to rule out pathological diseases like BXO most commonly. If there is no pathology or any complications due to it then you can try Betamethasone 0.05% cream twice a day alongwith good perineal hygiene and gentle stretching for 3 months.
Next Steps
Take appointment from an urologist.
