Hi, i have phimosis and i have been stretching for the past 2 weeks or so, and its going pretty good, but ive noticed that my head is dry and so is my foreskin. Is there any treatments for this? thanks for reading.

You mighy try some body lotion such as Vaseline Intensive Care, it may sting a bit but will do a great job.

hey thanks for responding! i have a question though, do i need to apply the lotion once a day? or a couple of times? and should i use it every day? thanks a lot for responding.

If I'm having a problem, I'll apply every night before I go to bed until it clears up.

This could be a yeast infection. Is there any itching, or redness, or cracking of the skin?
If there is, you might want to try a tube of monistat, vagisil, or anything over the counter for womens' yeast. It needs to be cleared up before continuing to stretch, or the tiny cracks will cause scarring, and then tightness of the foreskin.
If it is really just dry skin, 100% aloe vera works great, and is harmless enough to drink. It won't cause your penis any problems.
