Phimosis Treatment Steroid (betamethasone 0.05%)

By now you will have read that certain types of topical steroids can be used as a part of the treatment of phimosis. Most men can use the NOVOGLAN Gentle Foreskin Stretching Cream contained in the Complete Care Kits, however, around 5% of men will benefit from the use of a prescribed steroid, ideally in the form of an ointment at 0.05% strength. AKA betamethasone 0.05%

We recommend starting off with the NOVOGLAN Foreskin Cream as 95% of people who use it confirm that it works well in conjunction with the NOVOGLAN Gentle Foreskin Stretcher.  If you find that after two weeks you are only part way through getting a good stretch, then a steroid will be helpful to add to the treatment mix. In fact, we observe that the small percentage of men who need longer than two weeks do exceptionally well with a topical steroid cream or ointment as well the NOVOGLAN Gentle Foreskin Stretcher.                                 AKA betamethasone 0.05%

Be aware that there are some temporary side effects to topical steroids including dryness, bleeding, itchiness, tingling, and sometimes tearing - however, these side effects are reasonably rare and should not put off anybody who needs the extra anti-inflammatory benefits of a prescribed steroid. Always consult your prescribing physician if symptoms arise.

In conclusion, we recommend starting with the Complete Foreskin Care kit that contains the NOVOGLAN Foreskin Cream and use that for two weeks. If you still have a little more to stretch you could then speak to your Doctor about a prescription steroid to help complete the stretching program. 

Remember - when treating phimosis,  do not use a steroid on its  own. The  benefits only accrue when you use it in conjunction with gentle foreskin stretching.            AKA betamethasone 0.05%
