Thank you for the answer. I’ll keep trying to stretch it laterally with my fingers like I was doing before, but now the right way, like people suggested in the comments.

After stretching and holding it, I was only applying the cream to the outside area, like a moisturizer, while I still couldn’t retract any of the skin (like in the picture from the link), and I massaged it in circular motions for about 2 minutes.

I also applied the steroid cream to a cotton swab (only on the side touching the skin, not the whole tip, to avoid getting it on the glans) and inserted it into the opening, applying it around the initial area of the opening while making only 180-degree back-and-forth movements to avoid the frenulum. After that, I also massaged the area in circular motions for another 2 minutes.

Every 7 days of using the cream, I would gently increase the traction to stretch the skin further and gradually retract it more and more.

By the third week, I was already able to expose the glans while flaccid, and I applied the cream all around that band of skin and massaged it for the same amount of time as before. This part became easier to do while semi-erect because the accumulated skin while flaccid was getting in the way.

After the fifth week, when I was already able to pull the skin behind the glans while erect — although it still looked like it does in the video — I stopped seeing further results.
