The treatment of phimosis in boys, with a potent topical steroid (clobetasol propionate 0.05%) cream.
In an open trial, including 54 boys with phimosis, treatment with clobetasol propionate cream (Dermovate, Glaxo, UK) was shown to be effective, without side effects. Surgery, the treatment of choice in many centres, was avoided in 70% of the patients.
