Dear Doc, My son 2 years old ,when he woke up today morning, his penis was reddish and inflammed.I consulted a peadeatrician in the afternoon who said it might be an insect bite.He took the first dose of syrup and I also applied the ointment but the swelling has not gone . Could you please let me know what might be the reason for this reddishness and inflammation and is it something to be worried.

sorry to hear about your son.as suggested by your doc,it could be insect bite.usually it takes 48 hours for any swelling to subside completely.no problem if there is no difficulty in urination. have a good day.
