>>hi there. i'm 22 and have tightening of the foreskin. it can be retracted with alisght pressure when limp or if its erect with a lot more pressure, but then it stays down and can't be pulled over the glans again coz its too tight. i have some betnovate 1/2 cream (betamethasone valerate .05) which was given to me for ezcema/psoraisis treatment.
>I have never before seen anyone report that they got Betamethasone for psoriasis/excema treatment... this is fun. We usually suggest this particular working component for the stretching of foreskin, and whenever those people go to their doctors and ask them for a prescription for Bm, they either don't get one, or get Hydrocortisone instead, which is not good for this kind of use. Odd how "easily" you got yours :D On to the remaining part of the post:
>> can i use this on my foreskin to stretch it and if so how do i do this? how often? do i rub it on the inside of the foreskin or outer. The betnovate 1/2 cream is labelled as "BETAMETHASONE (as Valerate) 500 microgram/g. Contains chlorocresol 1mg/g". Anh help or advice would be great. Thanks very much. Mark.
>Yes, you can. You should use only as much ointment that will easily vanish into the skin, without residue.
>Keep in mind that the main component of making skin lengthier is physical force, i.e. you have to apply tension to the part you want to make grow. The ointment just makes the skin respond better.
>In the threads with Dan, you can find a lot of precise information about what to do -- he might even come to help and explain how he does things; without the help of Bm creme.

Just one quibble, Ral - where you say the most important facotr is physical 'force' this makes it sound like someone can apply a LOT of force and make it happen quickly. A better word would be'tension,' enough to feel the resistance significantly, but not to the point of sharp pain. The longer the tension is applied, the better. That's why taping and other continuous arrangements are often preferred.
