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.

Honestly... don't play or try anything... because irritated skin... it could get worst with what you are doing...
Don't waste time...this is your kid... just go to a doctor and fix it quick!!!

MY SON IS CIRCUMCISED BUT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. HAVE YOU TRIED DESITAN? IT MAY NOT BE A YEAST INFECTION, WHAT YOUR USING COULD MAKE IT WORSE. GIVE HIM 2 OR 3 WARM BATHS DAILY AND TRY DIAPER RASH MEDICINE IT COULD JUST BE IRRITATION FROM HIS DIAPER OR UNDIES! SOME KIDS ARE MORE SENSITIVE TO THESE THINGS THAN OTHERS. TRY THIS AND IF THAT DONT WORK I'D SEE THE DOCTOR. IT COULD JUST BE IRRITATION FROM SLEEPING WITH A WET DIAPER. THIS HAPPENS UNFORTUNANTLY JUST WATCH FOR IT TO SPREAD. AND ASK HIM DOES IT HURT WHEN HIS PEE COMES OUT CAUSE THEY DONT HAVE TO RUN A FEVER AT THE START OF A UTI. GOOD LUCK. HOPE I HELPED. YOU CAN ALSO LET HIM RUN IN THE BUFF AT HOME TO LET AIR HIM OUT!!

my son is 12months and it is red under his foreskin too. The tip of the penis is red and had a little speck of blood. He seems to be in pain if it is touched. I am taking him to the doctor tomorrow. I will let you know what he says.

Take him to the doctor and ask for him to be circumcised without further delay.
