>Even more than that, I'm pretty sure "0.5%" is a misprint - a "typo" - for 0.05%, which is conventionally called "half-strength", 0.1% being "full-strength". And you want the ointment by preference.

Sorry, my condition is a slight case of phimosis. I can pull the foreskin back from the stretching excercises illustrated on this forum (3 months), but it's still tight when it retracts (it never retracts by itself, I have to pull it back over the glan). That's why I went to the urlogist for prescription steroid cream. I actually just came back and he prescribed me Cortesine 0.5%... he said that betamethsone is too strong. I dunno. Is will this "weaker" at a higher concentration give me the same result as betamethsone 0.05%? thanks.
