Is there any treatment other than surgery? If not, can it be made so that there is no scar?
I'm afraid the problem might get worse. The narrowing opening of the foreskin may break into small fractures when pulled back, in these places scarring is formed, exacerbating the problem. Often there are also inflammations that further aggravate the problem. Treatments for phimosis vary - plastic surgery, circumcision - but there will be a scar mark after each one. Like any scar, it becomes less and less visible as time goes on. I suggest visiting a urologist.
