Conclusions:
Smegma pearls, which are benign collections of smegma, usually resolve on their own without any intervention. Parents can be reassured and advised to monitor the condition for resolution. Although manual retraction is an option for managing smegma pearls, it comes with potential risks, including paraphimosis, recurrence of the condition, and the possibility of secondary infection. Therefore, healthcare providers should carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits of this approach and educate patients and parents on these potential complications.
