What Causes Swelling In Penis After Going Through Mesh In Swimming Suit?

4 year old male, uncircumsised, spent day in swim suit and water and mesh in swim suit is stuck. Appears that the delicate skin went through the mesh and then swelled. Is there anything we can do at home or does this have to be dealt with by MD? Pediatrician or ER?

Hi

This is just a simple abrasion problem and it should resolve soon

For now you can apply aloe vera cream
