How To Get Rid Of Tick Attached On Penis?
My son is 6 and just came home from a camping trip and we found a tick attached to the end of his penis. We have tried all recommended things to do to get it to back out. We also tried getting it out with tweezers but cant back it out without leaving the head in. Being in such a sensitive area we dont know what else to do.

hi, penile area is a very sensitive area and it has a lots of veins and nerves. You should not remove the tick by yourself. Kindly take the child to doctor so that it can be removed properly. Take care.
