Hi,

You seem to have a tight foreskin and that is the cause for your current symptoms.

Local steroid therapy with Betamethasone valerate cream twice daily for about 6 weeks is the initial treatment option for the tight foreskin. A long-term perspective study done in Navi Mumbai, India proves this.

Alternatively, you may choose to undergo the surgical intervention called circumcision to get permanent solution to your concerns.

I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have more queries.

Regards,

Hi,

It is called Betnovate topical cream available as 0.05% or 0.1% strength in dosage. You may have to apply it gently, twice daily after partially retracting the prepucial skin for about 6 weeks.

There is no other thing that you can do to this apart from circumcision surgery.

Hope this helps you.

Take care!

How much would circumcision surgery cost approximately.

Hi,

It should not cost you more than 4000 to 5000 INR.

Hope this helps.

Take care!
