Hello Dr. Chandan,I do have a tight foreskin. I came to know that betnovate cream is useful for that and it helps in stretching/loosening the tight foreskin. Is it true? If yes, can you please share about what quantity of that betnovate gel should be applied?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Betamethasone 0.1% ointment (Renovate tube) is a topical steroid. Usually applied to the foreskin 2-3 times per day. It may take a few months of application before a response is seen. 80% of people will respond to topical dexamethasone when it is applied correctly 3 times per day for 8-12 weeks. The function of the steroid is to gradually thin the skin and make it stretchy. This will allow the head of the penis to begin to dilate the foreskin as it is stretched over the head. Application of the cream should be done with the foreskin retracted until it is tight and shiny. The cream is then applied to the foreskin. The foreskin should be held in the retracted position for 20 seconds to allow the head of the penis to gradually dilate the foreskin.
