There are many common diseases among children. To treat children's diseases, you need to understand the child's condition first, so that you can have a good method when treating it. The common method of treating children's diseases is medication. Medication is very effective in alleviating children's diseases and does not harm children's growth. However, for some special diseases, other methods need to be chosen. How to treat children's smegma? The following is a detailed introduction.

What to do with children's smegma:

How to deal with smegma in children? The way to avoid smegma is very simple, just take a bath regularly. People in some areas where they cannot take a bath frequently should also develop the habit of washing their lower body. If these secretions and dirt are washed away regularly, smegma will not form.

1. Apply ointment appropriately. If your baby has smegma, you can use a basin of warm water to clean it, keep it clean and dry after urinating, apply ointment on the inflamed area, and take or inject medication if necessary. If you have frequent inflammation, you may consider circumcision. If the foreskin opening is narrow, you can stretch the foreskin opening or perform circumcision. After circumcision, the wound will be red, swollen and have discharge, which will disappear within a week or two.

2. Pay attention to controlling the water temperature. The water temperature when bathing the baby should be controlled at 38-40 degrees Celsius. This not only protects the baby's skin from scalding by hot water, but also protects the scrotum from scalding. Adults all know that the scrotum is the coldest place in the male body and is most afraid of heat. High temperature can damage the sperm in the testicles of mature men and affect fertility. There is no sperm in the baby's testicles at this time, but care must be taken to prevent burns. Care should be taken to prevent smegma when bathing the baby.

3. Physiological phimosis and circumcision. Newborn boys will have the phenomenon of foreskin being too long, which can play a role in protecting the genitals. It can also protect the delicate glans from direct harm during the first year of life when the baby is prone to skin infections such as diaper rash. This is called "physiological phimosis" and will gradually change when the child is about 3 years old. If after 3 years old, the foreskin still cannot be retracted behind the glans to expose the glans, it is true phimosis, and then the corresponding circumcision surgery is required under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Don’t worry if your baby is one year old. There are many secretory glands in the foreskin, and some oily secretions similar to bean curd dregs may accumulate between the foreskin and the glans, forming smegma. However, parents do not need to worry or rush to clean babies under one year old, so the baby's smegma should be treated in a timely manner.

After understanding what to do with children's smegma, when improving children's smegma, the children must first undergo a physical examination so that the correct treatment method can be selected. Moreover, if the children's smegma is severe, parents must pay attention during the treatment and understand the precautions for children so that they will know what to do after the treatment.
