Suggest Treatment For Itching And White Discharge On Penis In A Child
my son is 6 and is uncircumcised. Lately he has been pulling on his penis a lot and when I asked him, he says that it itches. I have him pull back the foreskin and wipe with a washcloth to clean it in the bathtub, although I notice that it does not pull back completely past the edge of the head (near the shaft) and that there seems to be some white build up. I am wondering if that is what is itching and if I should encourage him to wash a little more aggressively. It seems almost like the foreskin is stuck to the edge of the head with the white stuff.
Hi.... what your child is experiencing is smegma and also a tight prepuce. Nowadays is simple local application of hydrocortisone cream can get rid of this situation. I suggest you use this cream on advice of your pediatrician and this is a prescription drug.
