So l have phimosis and l began to stretch. To start l could only pull my foreskin back enough to see the tip of my head.

l decided to get Betamesaphate 0.05% to assist with the stretching.

Now my foreskin is itchy, and l can not even pull it back as far as l used to!
The Cream is:

Ratio-Ectosone- Betamethasone 0.05%

Although often prescribed as a potential cure for phimosis, steroid creams only work in around 1% of cases, where the phimosis is only very slight.

The cream acts to thin the skin & theoretically make it more flexible. However it also makes it much more susceptible to tearing. When u stretch the skin beyond its natural elastic limit tiny tears (invisible to the eye) develop in the phimotic ring at the tip. These heal with scar tissue which is far less elastic than the original skin around them. Thus the phimosis actually gets worse rather than better! This would appear to be what has happened to you.

Cortico-steroids like betamethasone can also irritate the skin, particularly in a highly sensitive area like the penis, which is probably why ur foreskin is itchy.

There is only one sure & permanent solution to phimosis - that is to get circumcised.

Circumcision not only cures phimosis once & for all, but also protects against paraphimosis, frenulum breve & balanitis. It further provides some protection against several STIs including chlamydia, HPV & HIV/AIDS.

Circumcision is a quick, simple external operation which can be easily done in the doctor is office under local anaesthetic & will provide a lifetime of sexual & medical benefits.
