Stretching: Difference between revisions

Line 75:

Human [[skin]] can be stretched and normally returns to its normal size and position. But when stretching is done over a longer period of time, chances are that this stretching causes new [[skin]] cells to grow and [[tissue expansion]] to occur. We all know this from the [[skin]] which covers e.g. the human stomach or the breast area.

=== Topical steroid cream for stretching ===

Basically, all curative or constructive stretching of human [[skin]] should be accompanied by applying a steroid cream to the [[skin]]. The steroid thins the skin and makes stretching easier. Topical steroid treatment is also useful to hasten foreskin retraction in boys with nonretractile foreskins. A number of steroid preparations have been used, including ~~betamethasone~~ 0.05% to 0.1%, triamcinolone 0.1% and mometasone furoate 0.1%.<ref name="cps2015">{{REFjournal
