What Causes Grabbing Of Penis By A Child?
I have a 5 3/4 step son that keeps grabbing his penis. we have tried bigger underwear and also boxers, and also have taken them off with nothing under his shorts. We have talked to him to explain things to see if somethings hurts or bothers him and now he says it itches. There is now visable sighns of a rash. what do we do???

Hi....it could be a balanoposthitis or a glans of the penis infection. I suggest you consult with your Son's pediatrician for this. He might require antibiotics either topically or orally.
