Son 3 yrs old circumstanced when 1 wk old had 2 smegma under skin one came out by itself and the other remains can we get it removed? is it dangerous
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes/no: Smegma is just a body secretion that can sometimes be trapped under residual foreskin. It is not dangerous. Sometimes the material can be coaxed out of the trap with a wet Q-tip & some traction on the skin edge. You may want to see a urologist to have this done.
