 Yes, it is possible for the phimosis to heal itself. However, it is important that you make sure that the foreskin is pulled back and cleaned on a daily basis. In addition, you should refrain from masturbating or having sexual intercourse until the phimosis has healed. If the phimosis does not heal on its own, then you may need to visit a doctor who can help to treat the condition.
