The tip of my newborn penis is red and swollen. Nothing major, but it is not as it was until a few days ago. I searched on MN last night, found out that it could be X (sorry, I don't remember the name of the condition), had a look at pictures of penises with that condition on google (!!!), and although it did not look like those pictures I don't know anything about it or about newborns, so I booked an appointment to see a gp in my surgery today.
Well, I got in, I told him I was there for my son, and that I had three questions. He told me that that was an emergency surgery and that he might not be able to have the time for them all. I already did not like that, but told him what I was there for (the other two points were minor questions that I thought I might as well ask given that I was there), got the baby undressed, and while I was doing so he commented that my pram looked expensive. Hum. He looked at my son, said 'I don't know really', told me it did not look problematic, and to put whatever cream I use on him on it and see whether it gets better.
Apart from the fact that I will make sure not to book another appointment with that doctor, his words did not inspire me confidence. AIBU to expect a bit more care/interest for my child, even though it might not be anything important?
In any case, has this ever happened to your son? Did you just wait for it to pass? How long did it take?
Thank you!
