What Causes Redness On The Urethra In A Child?
Hi I have an 8 month old baby boy and I ve noticed that his pee hole is red, he doesn t cry when he pees or anything I try to keep baby powder down there but it doesn t seem to lessen in redness. But he does grab it alot I try to keep him from doing that as well. But he has no diaper rash just that redness around his hole. Could it be an infection and that is why he grabs it, or is it normal?

Hi...it could be because of his habit but redness is unusual. It could be Balanoposthitis...I suggest you consult your pediatrician and rule out infection after direct clinical examination.
