# Center Of Competency

> My 12 year old son has Phimosis and we went to see a urogolist. He said we would have to do a circumcision and did not spend any time discussing the available options. The fact that it is slightly larger than a pin hole and there is ballooning when urinating was all that was required for a diagnosis of circumcision. I asked about remodeling (stretching) creams (steroid/non steroid) and got little reaction. On insistence for a conservative treatment (first) he gave me a prescription for Nizoral cream 2% and said that the chances of it working is 1% and I can come back in 3 months and schedule the surgery. My son is using the cream and attempting to gently remodel the foreskin. At this age he realize a circumcision would be unnatural and definitely does not want to have one done.
> Is there a center of competency within the Toronto area for Phimosis? Where can I find a doctor that knows a bit more than circumcision? Is Nizoral cream 2% something that has worked and if not what is some of the most common creams that has shown success.
> Would appreciate any assistance.

> Thanks
> Excellent site.
