>>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.

>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.

You're right. I have pointed it out ("i.e. you have to apply tension ..."), but I have not emphasised how much force need to be used. Most probably no harm done -- if the guy is sane enough, he wouldn't have done anything too rough to himself anyway.
