What Causes Penis Pain And Excess Foreskin On Penis In Children?
My 3.5 year old son has been complaining of pain with his penis. He pulls his foreskin out. He seems to have a lot, excessive, foreskin on the underside of his penis. When he was very little, I think I cleaned him too hard, it separated and discharged yellow. Now it just seems to be a lot of skin and he complains of pain.

Hi,
Is there any discharge coming out or redness? Pain over tip of penis might suggest acute balanitis or balanoposthitis (infection of glans and foreskin). Try giving Paracetamol suspension 3 times daily for 3 days. Also, keep the area clean and dry (clean with warm saline by softly retracting the foreskin). If no improvement in 3 days, kindly consult your doctor for antibiotic treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
