A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs evaluation: This may reflect an infection (such as balanitis), which may sometimes develop as a result of hygiene issues, because this is a difficult area to keep clean. In any event, this problem should be evaluated by a pediatrician as abscesses (collections of pus) typically require antibiotics and may require incision and drainage to prevent progression and to encourage proper healing.
