its resolution often cause a lot of discomforts in babies and
parents. In many countries it has been treated on the roots
of ancient sanitary measures (circumcision) whereas in others
it's routinely treated with painful and useless maneuvers;
instead, until three years of age this don't represents a
problem but the normal situation of the baby. Herein the
authors report the results of topic corticosteroid treatment
of fimosis in 83 patients aged 1-14 years, with good outcome
in 86.7% of cases. Therapy and results are discussed.");
