How to treat smegma in children

The physical health of children is what every parent is most worried about, but the baby's privacy is also what we are most likely to overlook. Generally, children will show symptoms of cold and fever, which can be seen, but if the child's private parts are uncomfortable or abnormal, it is generally not easy to find. If the child is older or has discomfort in the private parts, they will express it, but if the opposite happens, it can only rely on the careful observation of adults. So how to treat smegma in children?

If a child has smegma or foreskin that is too long, he should pay attention to keeping the local area clean and hygienic, clean the dirt inside the foreskin every day to prevent inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis. If the glans penis is frequently irritated by inflammation, the foreskin opening may shrink and adhere to the penis, forming acquired phimosis. This long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation is related to the formation of penile cancer.

If there is smegma, it needs to be cleaned frequently. The second option is to have the foreskin removed surgically if the affected limb is a little larger. Generally, surgery can be performed if the baby is around three to five years old.

Develop a good habit of washing your vulva with clean warm water every day. The method is very simple. First, turn up the foreskin, wash it with warm water, and then wipe it clean with a warm and wet towel. But do not use special cleaning and disinfecting solutions to avoid irritating the glans. Once inflammation is confirmed, medication treatment is needed and should not be delayed to avoid causing other diseases. Choose a regular hospital to perform circumcision surgery to completely eliminate the formation of smegma. This is the most effective and fundamental solution.

Did you see that the above method can clear the smegma? If your baby has the above condition, you should follow the above method and cooperate with the doctor for treatment. If it develops seriously, it will be difficult to treat. After all, it is a child. If you really have to undergo surgery, the child will suffer. Pay attention to keeping your baby's private parts clean in the future. Clean it every day and go to the hospital immediately if you find any abnormalities. I wish your baby grows up healthily!
