What causes reddish and inflamed penis in a child?
Patient: Dear Doc, My son 2 years old ,when he woke up today morning, his penis was reddish and inflammed.I consulted a peadeatrician in the afternoon who said it might be an insect bite.He took the first dose of syrup and I also applied the ointment but the swelling has not gone . Could you please let me know what might be the reason for this reddishness and inflammation and is it something to be worried. Doctor: dear madam,           sorry to  hear about  your son.as suggested by  your doc,it  could be insect bite.usually  it takes  48 hours for any swelling  to  subside  completely.no problem  if  there is no  difficulty in  urination. have a good day.
