What Is The Pain And Swelling In The Penis Shaft Of A Child?
My 6 year old has a swollen shaft of the penis which is painful to touch. Not particularly red. Nothing special to see at the tip (he is not circumcised). He has been urinating normally, but when questioned says it hurt a little. No fever. Running around normally. Should I be concerned? Thanks

Hi...by what you say he should be having balanoposthitis. But...Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
