A. You can do it gently but not forcefully and if you are confused talk to your Paediatrician and get it checked once and use mild skin care baby products which are paraben free

A. Yes You can put a little bit of coconut oil into it and try to gently pull it down because it mostly happens with passing time but at this age it is mostly done but you can put a little oil and try to literally pull it down very gently so that your child doesn’t get hurt and if it does not retract with proper timing then you may have to go for a surgery also

Q. Hello.. My child is 2 year 9 months old. He has recently developed smegma pearls in his penis. No pain, itching or discomfort but it's visible as a swelling. What should be done? Some doctors are recommending consulting a surgeon & some just asking to retract foreskin daily. His foreskin does not retract completely yet.
