  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Phimosis is a common pediatric concern, often underestimated and leading to parental anxiety.
  • Current treatments range from ancient practices like circumcision to potentially painful maneuvers.
  • Physiological phimosis is normal in infants and toddlers up to three years of age.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of topical corticosteroid treatment for phimosis in pediatric patients.
  • To offer a less invasive and discomforting therapeutic option for phimosis.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 83 pediatric patients aged 1-14 years with phimosis was treated.
  • Topical corticosteroids were administered as the primary therapeutic intervention.
