[|Human|] Hello. My 3 year old son has developed fissures on the foreskin of his penis. He did have phimosis as diagnosed by his pediatrict urologist however, we were prescribed betaderm 0.1% and since using it, his foreskin has loosened enough to expose the glands. All was great for the past 6 months. Yesterday evening, our 3 year old son came to us and showed us that there were fissures on the outside of his foreskin and it is too painful to pull the foreskin back. Is it ok to apply the betaderm to this location?
[|AI|]  HiT hank you for asking Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query. Decreasing in miniaturization can be the reason for the fissures. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area, and instead you can use saline or warm water. You can also apply moisturizers based on liquid paraffin. Applying better (dexamethasone) will be helpful to reverse the fibrosis again. If there is no improvement then approach your doctor. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
