Phimosis treatment - Hydroval 0.2%?
Hey guys,
I have a slight case of phimosis. as in the foreskin can stretch (when i'm errected) till around half the head and not go further down without pain. If i force the foreskin fully behind the glans, it hurts and i can feel my head getting choking.
I went to a walk-in clinic and the doctor prescribed Hydroval 0.2% and after searching it up, I haven't come across anything that would relate the two although I have heard of 0.05% betamethasone. Do you think I should get a second opinion from another doctor or try this cream?
Any help would be much appreciated, especially if you've heard of Hydroval 0.2% being used to treat phimosis.
Thank you.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
Get the facts about this disease that affects more than 240,000 men each year.
Personally, I would also like to stay away from steroids, but would guess doctors know their job and should be safe for the application. Any how there is no harm for taking a second opinion, especially when there is no infection.
