Just to echo Lynnie's comment, you definitely want to take your hamsterto a vet and make sure you get a satisfactory answer. It could be any number of things so you really want to get a professional opinion.

The problem cleared up on its own. We did take the hamster to the Vet to be checked, yet all seemed to be ok. Vet said sometimes the genitals (male or female) can prolapse (?) and protrude outside the body. Not sure what happened with ours yet all is ok for now.
