>Max,
>i'm a little confuse about how to use the cream. every time you use it, wouldn't there b some left over inside the foreskin? are we suppose to wash it out when we are done stretching for the day? if we don't, wouldn't it (the left over cream) do something to the penis or foreskin? for example, if you put meat into water and left it there for a couple of days, it will change to this ugly color and become rotten.
>is there a website i can go to or a video tape that i can purchase to see how stretching is done?
>JoeWhen you apply a cream (medical, intended for 'topical' application), it is absorbed and either acts therapeutically upon the tissue it has been applied to, or it enters the bloodstream and is dispersed. So there's no danger that it will remain and make the foreskin go rotten.
However, the bit you want to stretch is the band of skin about a quarter of an inch wide which is on the outside of the foreskin next to the boundary between inside and outside (see www.foreskin.org/3zones-c.htm), so there's no need for you to put the steroid cream behind your foreskin.
Incidentally, I was prescribed steroid cream by my doctor to treat a mild fungal condition of the glans. He wrote a prescription for Daktacort, which contains a fungicide to get rid of the fungus and a steroid to heal the damage it caused. This is applied behind the foreskin, and almost immediately vanishes. So no need to worry.
