Case Study: Infants
John and Hannah Adams have had their first child, a son, home from the hospital just 3
days. John calls the pediatrician because he is worried about circumcision care. He noticed
the formation of a yellow crust on the penis. Their son had a Gomco circumcision prior to
leaving the hospital. The pediatrician reassures John that the crusted exudate is commonly
seen on the glans penis and is normal and often observed during the healing process. The
Adamses are encouraged to express any future concerns and to continue the good care of
their son
