No, it doesn't prevent infections. Circumcision is entirely medically unnecessary. Even in cases of phimosis, i.e. when the foreskin can't be retracted properly, it's still unnecessary. Therapeutic stretching alone can solve that.
In fact, the foreskin is physically fused to the glans until the onset of puberty, so cleaning underneath it is literally impossible, let alone unnecessary, until then.
As someone who suffered from such infections as a kid as a result of not being circumcised, this is a load of crap. This stuff is freaking painful and I wouldn't wish it on anyone else.
I'm not gonna deny that it can prevent some infections but so does just washing your dick. circumcising someone because it can prevent infections is like removing someone's perfectly healthy appendix so they don't get sick and need it removed sometime down the line
