There are lots of "cures" talked about here, however, the medical studies which were first done in Australia, have always used Betamethazone steroid ointment or cream as the agent to use on the foreskin to "aid" in stretching the tip of the foreskin sufficiently to allow it to slip right back over the knob. If there is a warning on a product NOT to use it on the genitals, I would certainly heed it. Keep in mind the manufacturer is in business to sell product and they would be quick to the mark to promote its use on any condition they could substantiate in trials.

I'm not, however, familiar with the product you mentioned, possibly Paul B, could comment for you.
