Suggest Treatment For Bump Below Head Of Penis In 15 Month Baby
My son is 15 months old, typical daycare baby medical history (colds, stomach viruses, ear infections). When I was bathing him today, I noticed a small, round bump about 1/4 inch below the head of his penis. I use a&d ointment in his diaper area daily, and Desitin if there are ever signs of irritation (not the case at this time). It does not appear to be painful to him, as I did push on it to see if he reacted -- which he did not. What could this be?

Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid might be having a smegmoma or collection of smegma at the foreskin and just below it. it is not something bad. Nothing to worry about it. I suggest you use hydrocortisone cream after consulting with your child's pediatrician or pediatric surgeon.
