Question
Upon changing the baby’s diaper, white granular substances were found on the scrotum. What is the cause and how to deal with it?
Answer
This condition may be due to the accumulation of penile skin flakes caused by an overly long prepuce. It is recommended to flip the prepuce up at least once a day and clean the glans coronal sulcus with clean water to prevent urinary tract infections and developmental issues. It is advisable to have the excessively long prepuce removed under regional anesthesia around the age of ten. Performing surgery now may require general anesthesia, which is unsafe and expensive for the child.
