Question
My child is two years old, and I noticed a small white bump on his genitals around the age of one! The doctor told me it was penile skin flakes and to keep an eye on it. But recently, a small hole has appeared on the white hard lump, and white liquid has leaked out! I tried gently squeezing, but nothing came out, only a white bump!
Answer
Hello, based on your description, this is mainly due to phimosis, which causes the accumulation of skin flakes. Most babies with phimosis tend to accumulate dirt easily, which is normal and doesn’t have a significant impact on them. The main thing to note is to clean the area during bath time by gently pulling back the foreskin to avoid dirt accumulation. This issue is not severe; just ensure good hygiene.
