Question
My baby is 5 months old. I noticed that there is a lot of white grime inside his foreskin. Should I clean this white grime? How should I clean it? When I try to clean it, he keeps crying and it looks like it hurts him.
Answer
When cleaning the foreskin and glans, it is recommended to rinse with clean water once a day. During bath time, gently pull back the foreskin to expose the glans, and remove accumulated dirt and sebum. If inflammation is caused by dirt accumulation, you can use a genital disinfectant solution to soak and scrub, but if the condition is severe, you should consult a specialist doctor. Avoid using soap or shower gel to prevent allergic reactions.
