Question
How should I clean a three-year-old boy’s dirty genitals?
Answer
During bath time, pull back the prepuce to the back of the glans and remove accumulated dirt and sebum. For cleaning the prepuce and glans, a daily rinse with clean water is sufficient. If using soap or body wash, ensure that the foam is thoroughly rinsed off to avoid possible allergic reactions. If inflammation occurs between the prepuce and glans due to accumulated dirt, use a specialized vulva disinfectant solution for soaking and wiping. In severe cases, consult a specialist physician. If phimosis is present, as it may be difficult to completely clean the prepuce plaque and there is a risk of prepuce entrapment when the prepuce is flipped back, it is recommended to consider a prepuce circumcision procedure.
