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 son is 2 years old and not circumcised. He has been happy all day, however in the bath tonight he started crying and I saw that his penis was red & swollen halfway up on the left side. He can t talk to much yet, however I don t think it hurts on the other side or on the tip as he didn t cry when I checked these. It s almost like it s stinging him as he didn t even want a washer or nappy touching it. Any ideas what this could be? I ve given him paracetamol, but not sure what else to do.
Swelling and redness are signs of inflammation. You should dry the area very well after bathing and apply a zinc oxide cream as Desitin cream 4 times daily (every time before applying the cream, you should wash the area then dry very well then apply the cream).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
