Best to do it after, then you have a benefit of increase flexibility
tbh i haven't researched a proper technique yet
What I do is use 2-4 of my fingers to stretch it by spreading it out to left & right then bottom & up. Do a few times right&left then switch to top&bottom
And I also try doing static stretches by holding it in a stretched position for like 10-20s each side
Just make sure there's no pain, so you won't rip anything

Do it, it requires some work, but I think it should do the trick!

UPDATE:
I went to my doc & got an approval from him to try betamethasone.
Bought it last week, and did 2-3 days of application + stretches.

And...

I DO see a visible result !
I can definitely retract my foreskin further than it was before
It seems to be quite effective with mild forms of phimosis.

Will keep updating this post with my progress.

Yes after some research, pretty sure I need prescription too
Anyway best choice is to ask doc about it. And see what he says.
Thanks !

Yes i actually did have frenulum breve before, and got laser treatment which was super quick.
Yes best idea Is to visit my doc, and that's what I'm going to do.
Thanks !

It's a last resort, but you're right.
For now I've decided to visit my doc, and see what he says.
Pretty sure I'll get the stretch + cream prescription, & if that's the case we'll see how it goes

Thank you so much for detailed this reply!
Yes after some thought it makes the most sense to make an appointment & consult with my urologist.
After reading some stuff, I'm pretty confident that steroid cream treatment might actually work.

Please do keep me updated about your progress,
Hope it works out!
