Suggest Treatment For Bleeding From Penis
Hi! My 6 year old son was just sitting on the toilet...somehow he fell forward and apparently cut the skin at the top of his penis (in the crease), like a slice. It is bleeding...I am applying pressure but as a mom...I don t know if I should take him to the hospital or if it is an area that will heal up quickly?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If the bleeding is controlled and the wound is not gaping it will heal normally.
He needs some antibiotic to prevent infection.
Otherwise Take him to ER soon.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
