Loosening foreskin with Betamethasone 0.05% cream

Hi. Im 18 and my foreskin is very tight, (also the foreskin looks longer than it should be, and has been red for as long as i can remember) but i have been trying to stretch it over the past few months. Currenlty it only retracts about 1/2 way down the head of the penis, and if it moves any further it feels extremely tight and painfull.

I have been looking around the net for possible medical aid, and have come across Betamethasone 0.05% cream. Does anyone know if this may be succesful in helping stretch the foreskin? If so can i get it over the counter in the UK or presciption only? (i have found usa sites selling it but none in the uk)

many thanks

It just so happens that I came across a web link while looking for cures for my son`s tight foreskin last week before I got better advice on this forum. The link refers to Betamethasone 0.05% cream, it is called Diprosone in the UK and you need a doctor`s prescription. I`m not a medical person but check it out anyway:

If you do not live in the UK you can likely find a doctor in your area and have him prescribe this. At least in Europe there are International Pharmacies that can get you almost any foreign medication within a few days.

Certain steroid creams are sometimes used to aid the stretching of a tight foreskin, but as none of us are doctors, we can't tell you which medications a doctor would use.  I don't now if it is available over the counter, but I don't think so.  Good luck.
