this is not an infection. this is just an accumulation of smegma -- a cheesy substance formed by those cells. just keep doing what you are doing but gently removing it. it is innocent.
thickened/white plugs at foreskin/head of penis of a 4 m/o? . circumcised @birth & healed normally. no concerns until this a. m. diaper change. upon retraction of foreskin i noted 2 thickened areas of white debris that wouldn't wipe away. i carefully removed the waxy discharge w/clean hands. the spots left very minor empty pockets as if i'd squeezed a pimple. i cleaned the area applied sterile petroleum sent home post-circumcision care but the area is now irritated. what are signs of infection? my son does not seem bothered by the redness at this time.
