Smegma... ewww tmi pic
Does anyone else have any experience dealing with smegma? Had anyone found a way to prevent the build up? My son's dr said baths and proper washing would work but I still have to remove clumps every now and then. I removed this one just now.

- What about baths with baking soda? I don't have particular experience with this but I was instructed by my daughters pediatrician to do that because of contestant irritation and smell. The baking soda baths can be done as much as 3x a day until the regular bath day is enough. Good luck!

- No, I haven't dealt with that since he was a baby. Could it be the type of soap he's using? Maybe try something like unscented dove.

He's snipped so I've always found it odd that he has it. He messed with it if i don't take it out, it's a little gross but i don't want him to hurt himself.
