2 Year Old Having White Substance Under The Penile Foreskin. Circumcision Done In Past. How To Get Rid Of This?
My 2 year old baby boy has some kind of white substance that is in what kind of looks like Porsche you pull the skin of his penis down. He was circumcised when he was 2 weeks old and we have never noticed it. It has been happening for about a month and a half now. I was wondering uf anybody could tell me what this could be and maybe how to get rid of it

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
The white substance on the penis of your child is called smegma and it is normally seen.
Every day penis has to be cleaned gently while giving bath so that the smegma will be cleared and don't get accumulated there.
Nothing to worry and just clean the area with soap and water while giving bath.
Hope I have answered your query.
