>YOU DONT HAVE TO GET CIRCUMCISED!!!! I;m 19 and had phimosis until I was 18. My doctor told me I "HAD" to get circd. I found out (not from him of course) that "betamethasone .05%" creme can cure it. It costs $7 (around 10 pounds for you U.K.er's) a tube and you get it by prescription. In about 6-8 weeks my foreskin was completely retractable! Before I started it my foreskin wouldnt even retract past the pee slit while flaccid (soft). Now it slides over the head while erect. So get the creme before you even consider circ. Heres a link to the study I found.

>Good luck,
>NickThanks for the info. Does it have to be in that concentration. I obtained a prescription but i am not sure if there is an error. The outside label states Betamethasone Val 0.1%. I wonder if that is too strong or what. Would appreciate any help.
