He is 1.5 yrs old and is uncircumcised, to clean it to i pull the skin back?

Uncircumcised male: To clean the penis in a young uncircumcised male you have to retract the foreskin. Not cleaning this area can lead to infections of the penile glans. When he is older he will have to learn to do this for himself.
