DS1 is 6.5yo and for last couple years has been gently pulling his foreskin in the bath to clean it. Suddenly over last few days he’s started saying he can’t ger it back anymore and that it hurts. No redness or any visible issues. He doesn’t complain about pain or discomfort any other time. No problem doing a wee etc.
Should I take him to see the doc?
Part of me wonders if it’s a stubborn issue or that he just doesn’t want me talking to him about it. I sort of leave him alone in the bath and don’t hover over him or anything but just remind him to do it. I’ve asked him to show me what he means when he says he can’t do it and really he can barely pull it back at all.
Not sure if this is in realms of normal and to just leave him/it alone? There seems to be nothing wrong to look at but it is a change so I’m guessing I’ll take him.
Just wondering what others’ experience has been
