Foreskin care in childhood

In this podcast, Dr. Ryan McLarty and Dr. Darcie Kiddoo discuss how to care for boys’ foreskin when they are babies and how to ensure boys are taught proper foreskin care as they grow older. They also discuss what the foreskin should look like, what abnormalities look like, how to recognize and treat infections, and when surgeries, including circumcision, are warranted. Dr. Ryan McLarty is a fourth-year urology resident and Dr. Darcie Kiddoo is a pediatric urologist, both at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
