Michael again

Written by Michael at 02 Nov 2002 09:00:04:

I posted some of this material about me already,but here it is again anyway,with some questions I felt I needed to ask..///
I gotta tell ya I'm inexperienced with this message board stuff,but hopefully,I'll get a bit better at understanding the form of these communications soon.That's beside the point,though......
I just recently developed this phimotic ring problem,and it isn't that bad,but I dont want it to get any worse thatn it was last month,when I had extreme difficulty retracting in the shower.
I am able to fully retract my foreskin while soft,and I'm almost back to the original state my foreskin was in before this problem occured a couple months ago,because I'm using the Triamcinolone Acetonide cream,and it seems to have worked so far.
I don't have a proper prescription for it,though,and I hope I can get one through an understanding physician.
The first guy I went to was the only Dermatologist in town,and he had the bedside manner of a warthog.
He suggested circumcision,and I ain't gunna DO THAT.
After that,it all went downhill.
=====================
Questions I have are:
----------
Is this cream application going to have to be an "all-my-life" process,or can I expect to(at some point)be able to finally consider my foreskin "healed"?
----------
How do you go about stretching the foreskin? Is masturbation efficient for this purpose?
----------
How long after the steroidal cream is applied does it remain effective in the skin(In other words,can I apply the cream at 2 p.m.,and stretch the skin at say,4 p.m.,
and still expect the cream to be in effect?)
----------
What happens if I use the Hydrocortisone? Anything?
----------
Also,if possible,I'd like to know what the success ratios are between Triamcinolone (Kenealog) vs. Betamethasone cream.
===================================
Any advice you can suggest regarding your experience with this is very appreciated.Thanks for being here.
