If an infant is circumcised, clean the penis with warm water & apply petroleum jelly at every diaper change.
If an infant is circumcised, clean the penis with warm water & apply petroleum jelly at every diaper change. Educate parents not to remove any yellow crust that may form at the circumcision site, this is a normal part of healing! Avoid tub baths until the circumcision has fully healed.
