Hi, my son s 4 years old, he s intact however to months ago a doctor forcibly retracted his penis which caused the foreskin to tear, now my new pediatrician is recommending betamethasone vale rate cream for 2-3 months? can this steroid cream cause issues long term use on a young child?
Hi. I think he had paraphimosis or like that for which retraction was necessary.anyway, long-term steroid is not recommended in a child although its topical.consult a pediatric surgeon instead and let him examine the area once again and then prescribe.wish him speedy recovery.
