What Causes Redness Around Penis Foreskin In Children?
My 6 year old sons penis is red raw and the foreskin is also red raw. My wife tells me when he came home from school there was a creamy/pussy looking discharge. We have since bathed him and the discharge is gone. We have left him unclothed to air out and keep dry. He can wee normally however it does hurt him a little from the slight swelling.
