>i can pull back the foreskin while in flacid state, not easily but i can do it..and its tight right after the glands...and i can only pull it slightly over the pee hole while erect...i was wondering whats the name of the steroid cream that i keep reading about is it 0.05% betamethasone or bethovate? and what is the 0.05%? also if you can provide with other creams will be greatly appriciated...also for anyone who is interested i found this http://www.glansie.com/usa/introduction.html helps you stretch. Has anyone used this before? If so does it work? Im a 26 yo male

A recent test (double-blind, I believe) showed that over 80% of men with tight foreskins became retractable using betamethasone with no active stretching program (no doubt the activities of applying the cream, retraction for peeing and washing, and masturbation provided stetching, though they weren't a rigorous 'program'). An active stretching program works in the vast majority of situations as well (so long as there is not an active infection problem - which ought to be dealt with, of course). Together they should do in nearly all cases.

I believe Bethovate is a commercial brand of betamethasone - check the label. .05% is the amount of the steroid in the cream - it's powerful stuff, you don't need a stronger preparation. Even hydrocortisone for inflammations are not all that concentrated.

Sorry I can't give you a personal testimonial, but from adolescence I've been easily retractable.
