Inner foreskin problems

Written by Anon at 17 Oct 2004 14:32:00:

Apologies for wanting to remain anonymous, it's my first time posting a question on this matter anywhere on the internet so I'd prefer to keep this way(!)

I've been reading through numerous websites on the subject, and although I suffer from phimosis myself, it's only a problem with my inner foreskin rather than the outer foreskin.

All the stretching exercises I've come across so far seem to refer to stretching the outer foreskin (for instance pulling away, rather than down over the glans). I can fully retract mine, however the opening on the inner foreskin is much more of a problem - so I'm not sure whether I should be using any different techniques or whether this is an entirely different matter altogether.

As an aside, is this unheard of? As I've yet come across any mention of phimosis of the inner foreskin on any sites I've read through, I'm beginning to wonder whether I'm reading the right advice with regards to stretching - sure I can stretch over the glans (minimal effects so far), but I can't actually get hold of the inner foreskin and stretch away from my penis as it's just too tight against the glans.

Also, I understand hydrocortizone cream is non-prescription and doesn't require a visit to the doctor. Is this correct, and is it recommended that I give this a try? I'd prefer to try everything I can myself before having to make a medical visit.

Thanks.
