hi all
i posted a message some months ago under the titel, "tight forskin BXO will
treching work" (thanks to thows how responded),Iv been treating my BXO for
over a year now with Dermovate cream form my doctor,and it has worked to an exstent ,ts got rid of the hard wight skin on the end of my forskin,but
my forskin is still tight,its better than it was but,my rooten seems to be
slowly pullback my forskin 1st thing in the morning (soft) witch can hurt,
alpy the cream ,go to work then in the eveing ,bath pull back again leave it
like back and wosh with dove soap (sensativ skin soap) then send an hour or so pull back and forth,by this time pull back when soft dosent hurt at all
,and go's back easly ,but when hard it only go's back a small way (say out of a scale on 1 - 10 ,10 being fully back ,then about 2%)
Iv tryed differnt streching iders the first was something i got from a sex shop,not shore what its called but its for puting in a womans vagins for exams ,and you wind in up and it opend up, i modifid it to have 2 prongs on the end ,i put the inside my forskin then slowly wind it open. this did strech it but every moring the same thing back to normal and akeing.
the second thini tryed was flymo, a modeling clay (geting the ider from this site) made d choob shape and tryed wearing that,no good for me,it keept moving and it was very hard to get in and out,and when it did work it did the same in the moring tight and sore.
the 3rd ider was a penis pump,this started to work well ,the ider is cover
my forskin and head with KY loob, then start pumping ,ones it get near the
full size it starts to pull the forskin back (must be loobd)and i and up
with a erect penis with th eforskin back about 40%. i try to leave it like this for 15min or so, and this works,but,im the morning same again tight and sore.and i think iv overdone it, iv got small craks on my forskin that hurt
when urninating,so streching is out at the moment.
I keep telling myself its just skin.skin streches. but i get so dis-heartend
with my progress.
please give me any advise you may have, i wont a normal forskin more than anything,its doing my self confidence no good.
please let me no if you have any iders
thanks very much

Alex, it must be tough going through all of this, but look at how far you've already come. Perhaps the device with the modeling clay might still work if you refine the shape to fit better. You can also use some tape to keep it in place. Be careful that it isn't too tight a fit so that soreness is prevented.

I'm glad to hear the medicine was successful in softening the ring.

My advice is to continue at a gentler pace so that the skin is not stressed so greatly.

A few important points come to mind from what you write.

1} Dermovate sounds good. Put it on the tight part, and the tight part only - you will be able to see and identify the tight part when you pull the foreskin back.

2} Whether or not it is "BXO" you have, if there is any tendency to redness or scaling or cracking as you describe, use some antifungal such as Daktarin® also on the tight part and around it.

3} Whatever pharmaceuticals you use, apply only enough to coat the skin and disappear.

4} If you have a problem with the foreskin, do not use soap - whether it is "Dove" or whatever. Use water only on the foreskin and glans. It may be less important what you use nearby whilst your foreskin is covering your penis. This is especially important if there is any tendency to redness or scaling or cracking as you describe.

5} It seems you can pull your foreskin back fine when flaccid (soft) and the limitation is when erect. Certainly you need to stretch, and the stretch needs to be (eventually) to a size wider than your erection. The basic means of doing this is to get two fingertips inside and pull apart.

6} Your modification of a speculum is commendable, but the reference to "2 prongs on the end" makes me suspect a slight misunderstanding in engineering. Any "prongs" must be as wide as possible, such as to spread the force over as great an area as possible. Making them too narrow is a likely cause of discomfort.

The tips of the "beak" of the device as modified need to be wide enough to only just fit in the opening of your foreskin (as you stretch it to permit this) before you open it. They also must be very smooth and well rounded - as well as filing them smooth and using fine sandpaper, you can "heat flash" the plastic very carefully (i.e., very briefly, repeat as necessary after checking each time) with a hot air gun to make it go clear again.

7} The "bushing" or "grommet" shape requires some explanation. I am having some trouble with my support site so that I cannot at present even post a drawing, but the "tube" needs to be wide, but short, and have a "groove" or "slot" around the middle - with very bluntly rounded edges as before - for the tightness of the foreskin to sit in place. In regard to soreness, the ability to wear a device all day if not for the whole 24 hours, is far more important than the degree of stretch, so you have perhaps been making it too tight a fit. Make one according to this suggestion, so that it comfortably holds the foreskin open, and try that awhile.

(Here's an example - if it shows up - of a grommet with one "cheek":
If you can visualise one with two "cheeks", one on each "end", with the fairly wide "groove" between, you might get the idea.)

8} Lose the Austin Powers penis pump.
