Hi. I m a 32yr old mother of three boys from northern Nigeria. My youngest son-10 months old, weighing 12kg- has cuts on his penis. The underside of the penis is red with the upside of the scrotum, ie where the skin of the penis meets the scrotum. Its as if the skin has peeled. This has been happening on and off for a while now. But recently the penis has little cuts on it, as if with a blade! Its not bleeding but its very red and i m sure painfull even though he s not crying or fussing more than normal. He doesn t have a fever & is feeding well. His elder brother had something like that too when he was little but his was the back of one ear & so easy to manage since the ear is always open to air. Please what causes this and whats the treatment? I m breastfeeding. Thank you.
This is caused by dermatitis, which can cause slit like lesions at what looks like bleeding and cuts.there are few things you can cause this and can verify avoided :lawn Chat Doctor.
