My 20 month old son has a little red penis especially around the urethra and when his skin is pulled down. Should I be concerned?

It doesn't seem to hurt. It's not all over, just on one side. It seems to be connected with his skin on top and the skin underneath, like a continuity when you pull it down. We give him his bath every other day and on Wednesday we didn't notice it.

Hello Ma'am,
How have you been since? Have you tried the application of a date cream?
33-year-old woman · 4 years ago
Hello, it seems to be getting better. No I haven't tried anything as a cream, I wasn't sure what to put.... I had already heard about canestin in case of fungus, but as we are not sure that's what it is I didn't dare to put anything. Could it be due to the fact that he hurt himself while dilating?

Yes, it may very well be.
Keep your eye open. If it tends to get red like this in that area, a doctor will be consulted to find the exact cause. If, for example, it's from dilation, we'll look to see if the foreskin is flexible enough to allow it (phimosis).
Good evening,
Alexander
