Written by PM at 19 Jun 2001 15:14:48: Steroid Cream - Dangers?
I have phimosis and on and off have used steroid cream
in an attempt to loosen up. I'm about to undertake a
concerted effort (a session everyday for a month) but
am concerned about the effects that steroid cream
might have. I use a brand called Hydrocortizyl, a 1%
hydrocortizone cream. The warnings state that this
should not be applied to the genitals. But is to the
foreskin alright? If so, should I limit the amount I
use? And also, is it OK to use it continually
for month? I hope someone can answer these questions for
me. Please email answers to windy_gael-hotmail.com
as well as to the forum is possible. Thanks
