If your foreskin is tight and difficult to retract, a steroid cream may help. Topical steroid creams, like those containing betamethasone, hydrocortisone, or triamcinolone, can reduce inflammation and loosen the foreskin. Applying the cream regularly as directed by a doctor, along with gentle stretching exercises, can improve retraction
