Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 4 yr old son is complaining of itching on the tip of his penis perhaps inside his urethra. He has no discharge, no rash. He is urinating as usual and has no pain. No other symptoms. Its been going on for a few days now. Any help with this would be most appreciated. Thank you, Kelsey
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
The symptoms are likely to be due to balanitis, that is inflammation of glans of penis. I would suggest you the following 1. Hot seitz bath: To a tub of lukewarm water add handful of common table salt. MAke child sit in it for 15-2ominutes each session twice a day 2. After the bath apply Betamethasone ointment to tip.
Do get back to me for further queries
Take Care
