This really needs to be stickied.

BTW, I'm not sure if its just my computer but the links for the pic. of the pearl doesn't look to be right (at least I don't see anything that looks like it) and its displaying a weird script (bringing up a message asking for an install).

Perhaps we could track down a more appropriate pic. to use?

and again, really needs to be stickied.

Thank you for letting me know about that link I am off to fix it. The reason it looks that way is because it is in Japanese or Chinese and it wants to install the program to translate it to english. I am moving the picture to my own website so that you can see the pic without the words.

OK got the picture up on another site along with another picture that some might find helpful.

Not sure what happened that it hasnt been sticked yet the last I heard from Puppy she was gonna bring it up at the next meeting but I know she has been super busy with her kids and new LO so I am thinking that is why.

Maybe you all could remind her via PM about it : (dont shoot me puppy)

Thank you! I feel so relieved. My almost 4 yo son has been able to retract himself for a while. However, there is a small part that is still attached. And the opening of his foreskin seems narrow.

I'm so glad to know that this is normal.

Thanks, Gen

Question -
My 1 year old's penis is slightly red at the tip. He is not statring to separate at all from what I can tell, and there is no swelling. He does not appear to have any pain or itch.
At his well-baby check, the ped was concerned and said it was a yeast infection and said I needed to treat with lotromin.
Ehhh?
She did handle his penis, not hurting him but she did sort of gently press down on the sides of it, so that the forskin was not loose - I hope that makes sense. I think she was looking for discharge, and there was none. It was not aggressive (I was all over her) and DS was not bothered.

I did not do anything as far as treatment goes. I think it might just be slight diaper irritation. He sometimes gets similar redness on his testicles especially after a long car ride (he's mashed up). He's in cloth when he's with me, and disposables during the day when my parents watch him.

I don't think it's an infection, because it seems to come and go. But of course now I'm paranoid. When should I worry?

No need to worry the tip often shows redness from just rubbing in the diaper or a bit of poo getting on there.

She still shouldnt have touched his penis at all though what you describe is nothing to get upset over it just isnt needed and can cause potential problems.

Worry comes when you get redness, swelling, pain and discharge.
