12wo, blood at base of penis

[vmcd28]

Last week I was changing ds2's nappy, and noticed a thin line of dried blood along the crease where the penis is attached to the body, if that makes sense, almost like a paper cut. Anyway, there was no evidence of it at the next nappy change.
But today, it had happened again, a little further round. This time the blood was fresh. I gently wiped it away, and a tiny amount of blood reappeared.
I assume this is just an irritation (due to being out and about, the nappy had been on for longer than usual, around 6hrs)? I haven't put anything on it, but should I put Sudocrem on?

Thanks :-)

DS had this, just a bit of cracked skin which we assumed was due to irritation. Bit of Sudocrem or Metanium fixed it.

Thanks for the reply. Happened again yesterday but vanished quickly again. Very odd.

That seems to be the thing with nappy irritations. They come on fast and heal fast. Weird!

Aaargh! It's back! Each little crease on his Boaby is bright red and looks a bit cracked. Can't take him to doc today as I'm already babysitting my friend's son after school
Could it be thrush?

Don't know if you're still out there vmcd28? This has started happening to our son. Did you ever discover what caused it?

Thanks

If either of you are still out there I'd be grateful to know what your GPs said about this please? Obv can't take DS to an appointment now.

Many thanks!

I know it’s a bit late now, but just incase anyone else, like me this morning, comes across this post.

Took my little man to the GP for this problem. He said it was like what some ladies get under their boobs from wetness and heat. He prescribed a steroid cream and said it should clear up.
