My 5 years old boy has been feeling itchy in his penis for over a week now. He feels it day and night. We went to see the doctor and was instructed to use Aveeno anti-itch cream, but it doesn t seem to help. He goes to potty more often after using the cream. Does anyone know what might be the cause?
Hi, Where exactly is the itching-at the tip only or throughout? Is there any color change, pain or discharge? Itching elsewhere in the body, or in other family members? Common causes of itching there include skin Chat Doctor.  If no other symptoms as mentioned above, try applying an emollient or moisturizing cream there twice daily for 5 days. You can give antihistamine like Levocetirizine (2.5 mg at night) to relieve itching. If not getting down by then, or any extra features present as above, kindly see a dermatologist for further evaluation. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
