Boys sore willy question.........

[dingolimpet]

Ds 2, 2.5 has just said his willy is hurting. I had a look, and the end looked a bit red. I sort of pulled the foreskin back a bit and it's smelly and there's a bit of white stuff. I've bathed it with cooled boiled water, should I do anything else, or just keep an eye on it??

just keep doing that dingolimpet. Don't force the skin back any further than it will go naturally. The white stuff is skin cells and smegma and all completely normal.

yep, just kep it clean i think.
my ds had a sore willy, but by the time he let me near (he was 4 at the time I think) it was red, and swollen on one side. Doctor prescribed anti-biotic cream, which cleared it up in a couple of days.
he is now very good at pulling the skin back to clean it!
