Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

This could be mild inflammation called phimosis. the part is very sensitive so may be very painful too. Better get a consultation by surgeon or pediatrician. I am unable to understand what you mean by hospital used different cutting instruments. is he already circumcised? You are trying to potty train him now, have you been keeping him in diapers for too long? That could well be the reason for the inflammation. But don't delay consultation as this small thing may need more attention than you think.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ratna Mulay, Pediatrician
