What Causes Redness On The Tip Of Penis Of A Toddler?

I recently noticed that my 6 week olds penis was red at the tip. I have been keeping an eye on it and it doesnt seem to be getting worse or spreading to a larger area but with his last diaper change I noticed that there was just a drop of blood coming from the tip. It was not in his urine so I don't think that it is a UTI. Should I bee concerned?

greetings.
sometimes while changing that area might get hurt.Once you are sure that its not in the urine,then most likely its not much to be concerned about.
secondly be more vigilant about it.if its not going off,then in that case kindly see a doctor,as a physical examination is a must for the child.
thanks and regards.
