Hydrocortisone For Tight Foreskin? Posted: 12-30-07 20:14pm
Hi this is my first post here. I can only
pull my foreskin back about halfway when
my penis is erect. It's just too tight.
It's not a frenulum problem, the skin is
just too tight. There is no way I am going
to my doctor about this (stupid I know).
But I have done a bit of reading and I
know what he is going to recommend. He'll
tell me to go and get some 1%
hydrocortisone cream and try that for a
few weeks.
So, has anyone else tried this? Did it
work? How long did it take? Did your
doctor prescribe it or did you just try it
yourself? Any side effects?
Also, can I get 1% hydrocortisone over the
counter in the UK or do I need a
prescription?
[edit] sorry forgot to mention. I know the
first thing to try is stretching. I've
been doing a lot of this for a long time
but it's not helping.

How old are you? If you're young then this
is normal. The foreskin is not fully
retractable until mid-puberty, around
15-18 years old.
I believe Hydrocortisone is available OTC
in most places.
