Hello,
Minor infection in the tip of penis can cause adhesion and subsequently leads to phimosis.
Circumcision is the treatment of choice. Nothing much to worry as it is a simple procedure and can be done under local anesthesia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
