Has Red Penis With Yellow Discharge. Got Hodgkin's Lymphoma

My six year old son has a very red penis with yellowish discharge. He saw the pediatrician two days ago and was told it was irritated from rubbing. He now has the yellow discharge and it seems to be worse not better. I don't know if they are related but he has Hodgkin's lymphoma and there is a case of impetigo in his class.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this problem that your son has. It could have well been caused by irritation from rubbing when you saw his pediatrician but, the information yo have provided is ore concerning for a possible bacterial infection. Also, with a case of impetigo in his class and probably a weakened immune system from Hodgkin's lymphoma, it makes an infection more likely.

I will suggest that you get him back to the hospital for re-evaluation. He would most likely need antibiotics local wound care and some pain medications to tackle his condition.

I hope this helps and I wish him a speedy recovery.
