A member asked:
My 5 month old son has a tight foreskin. it sometimes produces thick white discharge and now cracked at the tip with rash ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: The tissues inside naturally create a lubricant secretion called smegma. It is white &cheesy. The area is prone to irritation & must be gently cleaned with soapy water & rinsed to be at its best. This should gradually improve with daily care. Gentile tugging on the foreskin can begin loosening the skin. By age 2-3 it should retract completely.
