A member asked:
I cannot fully retract the foreskin (unless i'm in the bath) is this not good?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phimosis: This is not uncommon and may be facilitated by application of a topical steroid cream such as betamethasone. How to apply this appointment and to reassure that there is not another abnormality to the foreskin should be addressed by an evaluation by a primary care physician or urologist.
