I am no expert, but I have read many posts from guys saying that Betamethasone had helped them immensely with stretching their foreskins, generally without any side effects. Within the past two months, I also cited a study which showed that even without active stretching (the usual erections and other usage applies some stretching force), betamethasone alone had a 70-80 % success rate in resolving phimosis. I have heard that hydrocortisome does nothing for stretching either. I would suggest going to a different doc, probably a dermatologist, or at least someone whose efforts are focused on non-invasive therapies.
