Rough and tight foreskin [DOCTOR UPDATE]

[23malegen]

Hi

I've made a post earlier about my rough, dry, and tight foreskin issue.

I have visited my GP and he told me to use a moisturizing cream (QV cream) for few days and do some stretching exercises. If that doesn't help, he prescribed an OTC cream - hydrocortisone 0.5%

I actually have dermatitis on my hands and also have an ongoing eye infection so the doctor said due to that my skin has become dry at parts and he said that its not a big thing and using the moisturizer should do it and if it doesnt, then i'd have to use the hydrocortisone cream for my penis.

Any stretching exercise guides to help ?? thanks

cheers

How much are you able to stretch your foreskin back so far? If I know this then I'll be better able to suggest some exercises.

I was able to pull back completely until like 2 weeks ago.. now i can only do a little.. maybe just half of glans..

Were you doing stretches before to help retracting your foreskin?

I had phimosis and I was able to finally retract my foreskin fully with exercises. You have to continue doing the exercises for some time to make sure the change is permanent. I would recommend using some steroid cream too.

Can you insert 2 fingers into your foreskin to pull the skin apart? That's what I used to do. I would dig as deep as possible with my 2 fingers and then stretch the skin apart.

No I never did any exercises to stretch because It was fine and I didn't need to worry about it.

Wow, thats great!

My GP gave me hydrocortisone cream and asked me to use it for like 10 days once a day and he said he doubts it could be phimosis because it doesnt appear all of a sudden because it was fine until 2 weeks ago

how do you mean insert two fingers? im confused

please help me with guide how to do stretching.. i am a bit worried about this

Google stretching exercises for foreskin. If all that does not work u can get cut like I did a year ago.

I've had the exact same issue with small cuts appearing at the tip of the foreskin as well. Four days worth of low steroid cream has cleared it up really well.
