balanoposthitis

balanoposthitis Inflammation of both the glans penis and foreskin. An uncircumcised boy should be taught to clean his penis with care to prevent infection and inflammation of the foreskin and the glans. Cleaning of the penis is done by gently retracting the foreskin, only to the point where resistance is met. Full retraction of the foreskin may not be possible until after age 3.
