Hi...
Usually foreskin retracts completely by 4-5 years age .. if not, the creams too won't be of much help. U can try it for a month ..but if he is having poor stream of urine ,any urine infections ,swelling at tip ..please visit me or any other Pediatric surgeon. I m a Pediatric surgeon n ped.urologist
