1 Year old Baby Boy Penis Swollen And Painful. What to do?

There could be multiple reasons for this situation (swollen penis of a toddler) –

1. Penile adhesion, which is very common after circumcisions.
2. This could be a yeast infection.
3. The cases of zipper injuries cannot be denied, as well.
4. Foreskin problems because of wet or dirty diapers, wipes, or residue from soap.
5. Balanitis is a severe inflammation can happen around the tip of the foreskin and is often caused by poor hygiene.
6. If there is a cut or sore on the foreskin, bacteria can easily invade.
7. Incidents like paraphimosis, where when a male baby gets older, his foreskin loosens and retracts (pull back). Now, sometimes, due to the diaper or inner clothing, it may be let unretracted, hence, injuries.

As a treatment, you may need antibiotics, antiseptics, or in a severe case, some prescribed medications.

Therefore, we suggest you to please see a doctor at the earliest possible.
