What is phimosis
Phimosis is a condition when, due to the narrowing of the foreskin on the penis does not occur baring head. In young children, this state is a variant of the norm, but for adults - it's pathology. Most often this condition is treated by surgery, but many patients are putting off the operation as and they may be looking for ways to deal with the problem without surgical assistance, trying to treat phimosis Akridermomom.
The mechanism of action Akriderma with phimosis
Akriderma Efficacy has not been proven in this pathologyBut numerous attempts at self allowed patients to observe that in applying hormone ointments foreskin with phimosis is relieved condition. This may be explained by the fact that part of the ointment topical glucocorticoid (betamethasone) prevents the formation of additional skin adhesions. This explains some effectiveness Akriderma at an early stage of the disease.
In marked phimosis Akriderm may exhibit a positive effect due to its side effects in the form of atrophy of the skin - long-term application of ointment to the foreskin leads to its atrophy (wasting) and expose the head.

Keep in mind that in the absence of signs of inflammation on the glans penis by narrowing of the foreskin is no treatment in children up to 4 years is required. In children, after 4 years of age and in adults the only effective method of treatment - surgery circumcision (circumcision).
