I'm dealing with phimosis and I'm looking for advice on a cream to use internally on my foreskin. I've come across betamethasone ointment and I'm really curious if it's safe to use. Can anyone help?

I've been on Diane 35 for about six months, but I stopped three months ago. Now my acne is starting to come back. What can I do about this?
