My son's penis....help!!!

Lourdes26us1

This is my first baby and he is already 18 months. I need help!!! I've been noticing that my baby's penis head is still covered with skin. Is that normal? His Dr has never checked him down there. I had no clue that you have to help by pulling the skin down little by little. Is that true? He is not circumcised. Today i noticed a little red. Please help!!!

Yes you want to pull it back a tiny bit during diaper changes if he is circumcised. If he isn't, you do NOT want to pull the skin back. The redness is probably just a bit of irritation under the head. Happens to my son. Your doc should be looking! Sometimes the skin will readhere and require another circumcision.

@captivated and @Bahamamama4828 thank you girls! You just put my mind at ease. I was very worried.

My son is 16 months never pull the skin if he is uncircumsized never! The rednes might be just some irritation should clear up if not talk to doctor
