Why Does My Foreskin Adhere To Bottom Of Glans?

I am 71yr healthy male. from time to time my foreskin begins to adhere to bottom of glans, maybe resulting in only 99% retreat. .....as if there is cellular rejoining happening. is there a pharma substance/cream that will undo this? it tends not to be a permanent occurrence.

This is called phimosis and can happen overtime. As men age these skin changes are seen frequently. I recommend applying a cream called betamethasone 1% to your penis three times a day for one month. This will help loosen the skin and make it not adherent.
