Yes, by redness I'm referring to increased redness due to separation trauma, not normal foreskin redness.

Yeah, I started early and finished late. I also have a 25 year old daughter.

I'm sure my eldest son is happy with his foreskin, but nobody circumcises their sons here (in Norway) - I don't know a single family who have even thought about it! - so I'm sure he hasn't ever considered the possibility that it could theoretically have been chopped off.

I never knew that you had that crazy custom in the U.S. until I read about it on MDC!

I have 3 sons. They are all intact. They are ages 4, 2, and 8 months. They have experienced very mild redness at one point or another, but always when they were experiencing diaper rash. They have not experienced any of the other issues.

Yeah to this, but so my daughters!

Itching, or "My penis feels interesting" as he describes it. I would never have thought to attribute this to the fact that he is intact.

I have a two-year-old boy and a four-year-old boy. They have in the past experienced minor redness and itching a couple times, but it is always no-big-deal, and just corrects itself.

11 month old boy. Never any issues. He did have a red blotchy rash that responded to anti yeast meds but it was on his bottom and did not involve the foreskin.

He's never had an issue with his penis.

My son had a slighty red, swollen foreskin when he was about 18 months old...it lasted about 12 hours.

My 4yo son had these when he was 1yo:

Minor/Moderate redness
Minor/Moderate swelling
Smegma Pearls

Happened twice. The doctor (of course) recommended circ and the CNA harassed me about why I didn't have him circ'd and how many boys they see come in later for circs. Turned out to be a yeast infection from a food allergy. I figured it out on my own because the doc refused to culture it, despite repeated requests. No wonder they have "so many" boys coming in for later circs, if the docs are refusing to culture things and just recommend surgery.

The pearl was not treated in any way. I don't remember it coming out or anything, but he doesn't have it now. So I assume it came out bit by bit on its own. He is not yet retractable at all.

My 19 month old occasionally has a bit of redness. His foreskin does appear to be loosening up a bit (hard to tell, the whole area is growing and changing lately.) I do not think it is any different that the redness that my DD has from time to time.

I voted under 2 with no problems. And then.......the tip has been red a few days. I think it is just a diaper rash. Wouldn't ya know it? lol
