Hey fellas so it seems I have injured that phimotic band on my foreskin. It started off as a red scratch like tear that was painful as hell to retract to retract my foreskin but I did it anyways and now about 3 weeks later I’m left with a translucent band around where that scratch was, but this wraps around the foreskin. When erect it’s not so much clear as it is just tight, but I can retract fully with no pain. Would steroid cream help this or what would you recommend?

    It should heal naturally if you avoid new trauma (maybe don't have sex or masturbate for a week or so). You could try coconut oil. However, your doctor may be able to prescribe a corticosteroid to assist making the skin more stretchy. Don't accept that you need a full circumcision if it is suggested. - After all, if it happened on your eyelids or lips you wouldn't have surgery to remove them! Foreskins are just as useful and normal as lips or eyelids.
