brilliant, thanks a lot - l am bit slow though - l take this "it is not unlikely that it would be particularly appropriate for use on the foreskin (tip) also." to mean that it is okay to use?, if it is l'll start straight away and let you all know the results. BTW it cost $10aud if anyone else was wondering...


>>>Hi,
>>>I cannot retract my foreskin past the head, and if it does it hurts and will not come back unless a lot of force is used. I have read a lot of articles and got my handson some Kenalog in Orabase (Triamcinolone acetonide 1mg/g in emollient dental paste). Is this the right stuff and can l use it say twice daily to fix my problem?

>>>Cheers,
>>>T.
>>I believe the only thing proven to work is betamethasone. What you have does not seem to be an alternate name.
>While lurking elsewhere I found the following information from someone whose wealth of information, to the point of being agonizing overload at times, strongly suggest he is an MD:
>"Actually, as it turns out, "Kenalog®" (Triamcinolone acetonide) *is* in fact, very similar to betamethasone (valerate or dipropionate), and might be expected to be just as effective at the 0.1% concentration.
>Since the "Orabase®" preparation is intended for use in the mouth, it is not unlikely that it would be particularly appropriate for use on the foreskin (tip) also."
>He used to be a regular here and I remember reading his recommendations on applying the ointment in a very thin smear at the places that are tight. With a topical application (smeaqred rather than taken internally) the only part that does any good is the part in contact with the skin - excess is just waste.
>And don't neglect stretching - that tells your skin how you want it to grow. Erections will do a good bit of the stretching, but your results will be quicker and more satisfactory with specific stretching exercises.
