My little nephew was born with the littlest..uh Penis ever. I hate to be weird or rude, but it was darn near non exsitant. The Docs waited to circumsise him, til he was nearly 10 moths old. It went badly, when they did, he bled and bled and bled. Now his penis seems to have disapered totaly?!?! His parents are so young, how do I approach this with them with out making them mad. I think something is wrong, I mean I think theres something to be worried about? Could the Docs have really screwed up? Anybody have a similar problem? How did it turn out for the child? I'm truely worried.

It's definitely possible. It's one of the many possible risks.

Sounds like a webbed, trapped, or concealed penis. Dr. Greene describes it here:

Boys can be born with a webbed penis, or the condition can result from an over-exuberant circumcision where adhesions form between the scrotal skin and the penile skin. Webbed penis usually causes no problems (unless a routine circumcision is later performed).
Some children are born with a concealed penis (also known as buried penis or hidden penis), and for some it happens after circumcision. It is common in infants and toddlers, and occasionally seen in older children and obese adolescents.
Children are not born with trapped penis; circumcision causes it. Routine circumcision of a webbed penis or circumcision when there is significant scrotal swelling (from a hydrocele or hernia) can lead to trapped penis.

If the doctors knew that the boy had a small one, they shouldn't have done it in the first place. But I hope that link helps, whether it be to present it to them or something. And I hope it doesn't get worse.
But yeah, usually after circumcision the penis looks smaller anyways. Just watch a circumcision video and see the before and after.
But if it's been getting worse, that's worrying. Especially if it has 'disappeared' inside his pubic area. That means the skin is pulling it back, since too much was removed.

it relatively is why circumcision isn't a stable thought. uncertain what he skill by skill of "area of the exterior on suitable"? If it relatively is nonetheless some foreskin it won't be a hassle. it relatively is a unfastened circumcision and it relatively is a extra useful thought to have a sort of, an honest circumcision or re-circumcision takes away too lots pores and skin which reasons painful erections. i could in all probability leave it until eventually there is an pressing scientific ought to do something; with a bit of luck by skill of the time he's satisfactorily previous if he has issues he would be waiting to declare something or get it accomplished by skill of himself, in step with probability as an grownup. it relatively is somewhat unhappy you have left him with this legacy. Or does he propose it relatively is a pores and skin bridge or something? besides, previously getting surgical operation, if uncertain, continuously get a 2d opinion, or perhaps 0.33. And no, maximum boys do no longer communicate their circumcision problems with their mum and dad, or in specific cases they think of the outcomes (e.g. pores and skin tearing) are merely well-known and don't hyperlink them with the circumcision. it relatively is totally unhappy mum and dad will try this pointless surgical operation and often no longer hear on the subject of the outcomes the boy studies in adulthood, by fact he's merely too embarrassed, or merely by fact they do no longer comprehend approximately his intercourse existence!

Does he urinate? Then it works.
There are some genetic causes of tiny genitals - does he have any other problems? if so, other things will show up - let parents worry about it unless something new comes up.
If they had really 'screwed up', he would have had to go for surgery.
