Urine inside an infant's diaper (nappy) may become ammonia. If the infant is a [[circumcised]] boy, who has been deprived of the protection of his [[foreskin]], then the ammonia may attack the [[meatus]] and cause [[meatitis]] or worse, [[meatal stenosis]], which requires a second operation to open the [[urethra]].
