My foreskin cannot be fully retracted. What creams or medications are recommended to treat this condition?

Asked by Male, 18 · 3 days ago

This condition is known as phimosis, which is very common and highly treatable. The standard medical treatment is a topical steroid cream, such as betamethasone (0.05% or 0.1%) or hydrocortisone, applied to the tight band of the foreskin once or twice daily for 4 to 8 weeks. When combined with regular, gentle manual stretching, these creams help soften and loosen the tissue. Please avoid forcing the foreskin back, as this can cause tearing and scarring. I highly recommend seeing a doctor or urologist to get a proper evaluation and prescription, as these prescription-strength creams should be used under medical guidance.
