What Is Causing My 3 Years Old S Penis To Itch?
My son is 3 yrs and 5 mnths old, he seems to be having some sort of irritation on his penis, I think it itches because he becomes relieved when he scratches it. This has been going on for about 2 days now what could be the problem? He also developed a sudden spot about 3 weeks ago on his head where now his hair does not grow, my research shows that it could be an infection/fungus. He has been using antibiotic alot because he is repeatedly develops a flu. Please explain, could the two problems (spot on head and itchy penis be related), what is the solution?

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
The most likely reason for your child's symptoms is fungal infections which are common after prolonged use of antibiotics.Do not worry. You may use clotrimazole lotion at both the places thrice daily. Hopefully it will improve in next 2-3 days.
Take care
