Article Synopsis
- Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin cannot be retracted, and this study aims to compare the effectiveness of two topical treatments—betamethasone alone versus betamethasone combined with hyaluronidase—in children aged 3-10 years.
- A total of 152 children participated, with treatments applied for 60 days, and results showed a success rate of 75.38% for the combination treatment compared to 64.06% for betamethasone alone, though this difference was not statistically significant.
- The study found no systemic absorption of cortisol from either treatment and concluded that both topical therapies are safe and effective, with no significant influence from factors like age or previous corticosteroid use
