Hi Zoe. Eleven is OK to start puberty these days so don't worry. At least she knows that you are prepared to talk to her about it. She may well have discussed it with her friends so has a good idea what to expect. All you can do is ride it out on the side-lines and be there if she needs you. Take care
Hi, My son aged 10 cannot pull his foreskin back at all. The GP was not very helpful at all when I took him along to get it checked out. He implied I was stupid for not taking him sooner and informed me that he should stretch his skin in the bath for three months and if this didn't work by then he would have to be circumcised. No other options such as cream were offered and I would really rather try everything possible before having to put him through circumcision. Please can you tell me the name of the cream you would suggest to help loosen the skin as so far there has only been a slight improvement. Thanks
