my son is almost three and is not circumcised and I noticed it started growing on a little on one side, what should I do? Just keep taking care of it? It's not bad just a little.

Let it be- he will thank you for letting him keep all the sensitive nerve endings intact.

"RN and mother of two boys" is unfortunately COMPLETELY IGNORANT AND MISGUIDED about the natural penis. The ONLY person who should EVER retract a foreskin is its owner. Avoid soaps on the delicate mucosal inner tissues.
In childhood a boy will enjoy pulling his foreskin AWAY from his body. Later, he will discover that it rolls back toward his body and will manipulate it (unless he's scolded not to) until it retracts fully. If it remains tight and unretractable after puberty, he can enjoy it that way (like roughly 2% of males) or see a urologist for help with some stretching exercises and steroidal cremes that will give him a retractable foreskin (like three-fourths of the men on earth) within a few months.
Leave it alone. Treat it like his eyelids and you'll be fine.

I agree with the "Paladin" post earlier. I am from Europe and the custom is not to circumsize. The "growing thing" I do not know about. Usually, the skin starts peeling back by itself and eventually separates. The circumsizion law was only ment for the ancient Israelites. The key is to keep it clean and teach the person to keep it clean. My kids are not circumsized. You are doing the right thing. No need to torture your son.

Circumcision is a barbaric religious practice that has no real merit. The hygiene argument is as tragic as a woman cutting off her breasts so she won't get breast cancer. Women usually prefer the look of a cut penis but that is simply a learned thing.
Society should stop ceremoniously castrating males and quit obsessing on penises!!!

It is an indisputable FACT that the foreskin is the most nerve-rich portion of the male anatomy. Uncircumcised men enjoy sex more, and their partners enjoy sex more. One need only read surveys and research into the subject--where the partner had both experienced a cut and uncut penis. You cannot take surveys conducted in the United States, where nearly every boy is mutilated, seriously. THEY HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AND UNCIRCUMCISED PENIS! They are answersing with question to NO KNOWLEDGE!
Of course the penis feels more sensation when the skin is pulled back. That's what the foreskin is for! To keep the mucous membrane (head of the penis) moist, supple, and sensitive, so that sex is extremely pleasurable. Men who lack a foreskin have enlarged, kerotinized heads, completely devoid of the sensitivity it used to have. Years of being exposed to air and rubbing against clothes dries it out and kills the nerves. The head enlarges because it's been scarred! That larger head on cut guys is scar tissue--nasty, carved out, mutilated, kerotinized leftovers of their manhood.
The idea that the uncut penis masturbates within itself is totally bogus--if a man's penis is 6 inches long and he inserts into his partner, she is receiving 6 inches whether it's covered in foreskin or not. She is receiving that length of pleasure whether the man is gliding in and out of his foreskin or not. The whole notion of "KY JELLY" is something invented in the US, for mutilated men, so they can have sex with their partners, as their dried out penises are incapable of producing their own lube. Sex with an intact man is 100 times better, no ifs ands or buts.
LEAVE HIS SKIN ALONE!

When you bathe your son, make sure that you pull his foreskin all the way back and clean the glans of his penis, and behind the skin that is pulled back. If you don't do this, it may cause him to have a stricture of the foreskin, or it may cause it to grow crooked. If the situation that you describe is a concern to you, consult your physician.

Do him a favor and have him circumcised now. Most women are disgusted by it and a lot of men don't keep it clean.
