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.
