What Causes Penis Swelling And Redness In An Infant?
hi, when i bathed my 1 yr old son, i noticed his penis was swollen and red, once i tried to examine it, i noticed puss coming out, even more so once i pulled the foreskin back just a little. He didnt like this so must be hurting him as generally he doesnt mind when i clean him usually. what could this be?

Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
Its normally because of infection because of diaper (most likely).
I would suggest you to give him plenty of water and good food.
Also check if his diaper is changed regularly. He would be alright in 5 to 7 days.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
