O_0 oooooooooooooookay . Lol Just kidding, I am very happy to say that I am no longer dry! It seems the cream did work after all ^_^! Even though I quit using it due to the adverse side effects, from what little I used it seemed like it worked. However, I do have scars but thankfully they haven't reopened. I am now very careful when I masturbate making sure that I don't grip it hard and not dig my nails deep when I orgasm. Other than that no problem what so ever! Looks like I won't be needing a circumcision! Whew! Dodged that bullet! I do have a follow up appointment with the urologist so he'll be able to offer a different method of getting rid of this problem with having to get circumcised.

Dry Foreskin And Other Slight Problems

_so he'll be able to offer a different method of getting rid of this problem _
I still think this method/creme is/was fine and will be fine in the future. I still believe you overracted but you should talk about it with the doctor and get his opinion.

Very very true. But still better safe than sorry know what I mean?
-
Of course I am going to ask the doctor what to do why wouldn't I? Also sometimes when I orgasm it's so strong I litteraly dig my fingernails into it. And I don't like to use lube becauseof the mess afterwards.

Will do man thanks alot!

They are usually near the tip of the foreskin. My guess was that his skin was dry and it cracked, making these cuts. So, keeping his foreskin moisturized should help. The urologist said that the chemicals in regular lotions will not work because that area was too sensitive (which is why the doctor gave my boyfriend the steroid cream).So, my question is, is that really so? Dunno whether you're still reading the thread, but I'll add what I know as a lad who has his foreskin and comes from a country, The Netherlands, where doctors know that you treat, not amputate!You're right, the doctor prescribed a steroid cream used for stretching the foreskin when it's tight, it doesn't do a damn thing about moisturizing the skin. Your b/f's doctor is full of crap and it's pretty suspicious that he started talking to him about being cut right off. Your b/f using a cream that doesn't treat his problem will insure he'll be back for that circumcission.One of the best body moisturizers available is call EUCERIN. It is available over-the-counter at any chemist or where skin products are sold, especially for ladies, although it isn't just for them, it's just they buy those products more commonly.Tell him to use it everyday, after the shower is a good time. It goes on the outer foreskin not the inner skin and you work it into the skin just like you would when putting it on your hands. Cracks in the skin are caused by dry skin and your b'f's foreskin being forced to expand and uncover the knob is obviously too dry to expand easily, so it cracks. the Eucerin will do the trick and do it economically. You might also apply some prior to having sex (you could help him apply it ) just for an extra measure of help, comfort and prevention.

To use an American expression, "I don't have a dog in this fight!"I don't mean in any way to be unkind to you or the others who lurk and write here on a regular basis. However, the group is dominated by and reflects one view of foreskins, often put forth by folks who don't have one and who are parroting the opinions of M.D.'s and supposed experts who themselves don't have one and who were in turn taught by others who didn't have one.Using the writer's comment of his experience, the doctor suggesting circumcision for cracked skin plus prescribing an inefective cream for the problem is shocking. In the E.U. and I suspect the remainder of the non-circumcising world, at a physical or office visit, the doctor will check for a hernia and that's it. The only time he would touch your penis is if you specifically ask him or give him permission. There is not the fetish of seeing a foreskin and the closest he might come is to ask if you have any problems?There is no intention on my part to hurt any one's feelings here nor attack anyone, but I joined believing this is an open form and after being jumped on earlier, I learned that differing comments would only be shouted down and the writer vilified. I accept that, it's a form which belongs to others and is operated under the Golden Rule. "He who has the gold, makes the rules." That's reality and I accept that. Thus I confine my very occasional comments to suggest usimg Eucerin Cream for skin cracks.Christiaan Breda, Noord-Brabant, NL

I don't know what the heck you're talking about or where you are getting these ideas. This forum generally leans anti-circ. It's actually quite the opposite of what you are talking about..
Anyways, I don't believe the doctor just prescribed the creme to moisturize the forskin. It was probably prescribed becasue he has some form of Balanitis which is causing the dryness. The forskin is rarely dry on it's own.. It's usually as a result of something else.

Um, what's Balanitis? :open_mouth:
-
Any infection or inflammation of the foreskin.
