The hypothesis that the phimotic ring is composed of dead skin cells
seems very interesting. Is it your own idea? Has it been proven?

I've read that most babies' foreskins are not normally retractable. Is
this simply due to adhesions? I had thought that phimosis was defined
as the non-retractability of the foreskin.

I wonder if I have frenulum breve...

Ok. But besides the cream, I would need a technique for stretching and
a lot of time on my hands.
My idea was simply to do the stretching hands-free... perhaps by a
tiny inflatable balloon would help??
