PENILE HYGIENE IN CHILDREN
There is appearance of a waxy, lubricant; oily substance called the 'smegma' between the foreskin and the glans of the penis. It consists of natural secretions and shed skin cells. This smegma is usually produced during puberty and provides a natural lubricant between the fore skin and glands.
The foreskin in the child is usually not retractable and is retractable by mid ? teenage. Thus in a child while cleaning the penis, the foreskin should never be retracted. Only wash away what ever is external and readily visible.

Difficulty in Passing Urine
The parents in younger children may notice this or the older ones may be able to vocalize and tell their parents. The boy may be straining to pass urine, have a thin stream of urine, which may fall close to his feet. The child may cry when passing urine, may pull at the penile skin after passing urine, or have a habit of rubbing the penile tip skin off and on.
During the course of the day the parents may notice that the child continuously has his hand on his penis. All these are signs of irritation, infection, inflammation of the prepucial skin, which is long standing. The parent may notice a ballooning of the prepucial skin before the urine stream comes out.
