Strength? most likely 0.05%

> I know cream isn't the point to success, but if it can help why not use it?

Not unreasonable. My previous posts, with specific instructions for use of whichever cream you have, focus on the problem of people who expect the cream/ ointment to do all the work, and fail to understand the matter of stretching.

> Well the question is now: what is the right way of applying it? What amount? Has to be put inside, outside?

All in the previous instructions!

> And what if the cream gets in contact with glans (which is still sensitive)?

It's not the sensitivity that is the concern, it's the possibility of unnecessary side effects. The stuff is hardly toxic, people slap it all over; after all, they gave you the tube, didn't they, and what for? Used in a very specific fashion, there will be no problems, one just has to make sure people don't use it any more than it's really necessary and beneficial.
