What Causes Continuous Erection And Redness In Tip Of Penis?
My 23 month old son has had an erection for more than 8 hours (it seems). I m not certain that the erection has been constant. Each of 2 times that I ve changed his diapers his penis been erect and when I just changed his diaper now, the head of the penis was red. Should I seek medical assistance?

Hi.... by what you quote I feel that your son might be having a infection of the tip of the penis. This is called balanoposthitis. The other rare causes of constant erection could be an infection of the shaft of the penis or because of Scorpion sting. I suggest that you seek medical attention immediately.
