As an answer to: help! phymosis at 30 written by bruno at 19 Jun 2002 14:24:30:

We'd call you a man at 30. Anyway, no evidence of phimosis on those photos. Unfortunately, photo five appears to have been lost. Picture one has what looks odd at first, but turns out to be pressure artefact from the scanner. How on earth did you do that? Lie forward on the scanner, or tilt it upward? Not all scanners work vertically!

Should be fairly safe to see a doctor in France. Anyway, you need to stretch your foreskin using the methods people here have described. Suggest you have a read, if I or someone else has time, we can post some links.

You're right, of course.

> I have a long and tight foreskin.

Doesn't look like it to me - length = ordinary, you seem to be able to pull it back quite well. Just persist in pulling it back very often, also get a couple of fingers inside it and pull them apart to stretch it, a few times a day for a minute or two.

> Would Betamethasone help me or do I need surgery?

Betamethasone may help, but most people say if you start stretching, you can do it without. If you can already pull it back like that, surgery would make things worse by comparison. You wouldn't want it (the foreskin) cut off, would you? I mention that because that is what they usually do in the USA!
