My 2 1/2 year old son is uncircumcised and has been complaining for a couple of days that his penis hurts and that it hurts when he pees. He has no fever or other signs of infection (UTI or yeast). The tip of his penis is red around the opening of the foreskin and the underside of his penis is red along the length of the shaft. His penis usually sticks to itself there (under side) when he is wet leading us to wonder if it is a yeast infection. When he was young he had a yeast infection and we treated it with cream advised by our doctor. For the last 2 days we have been washing it well (we don't retract the foreskin, it's not ready yet) and have been putting on Dermoplast for pain and antibacterial help and then alternate changings with yeast infection cream. He says there is less pain now, but it still seems as red... Could this just be soap that is irritating the skin? Could this be a normal part of the foreskin separation? Do you have any ideas? Please help. Thank you.
