>>Has anyone else in the UK been perscibed betamethasone?
>Hi Rob,
>I'm also in the UK. My doctor said she was aware of the use of topical steroids for the treatment of tight foreskin and prescribed hydrocortisone rather than betamethasone. The hydrocortisone treatment is also available over the counter without a prescription HOWEVER I have to say that its use has landed me with a fungal infection on my penis that I've been treating now with a new cream for about a month with hardly any success. I think that the stretching can really help and if it is slowly working for you, it might be a good idea to continue without the use of any cream.
>This was my personal experience. But I might be wrong in the sense that betamethasone may be a completely different product to the one I've used and maybe the risks of infections are different.
>Good luck!

>PS: Paul B., could you remove the pics from the mirror website. Thanks.
