A member asked:
My baby is 10 months old and yesterday he developed somewhat of a swelling on his foreskin and a bit of redness on his penis.

It happens: Sometimes they can trap body secretions called smegma under the folds of tissue & that can attract skin germs. Gently pulling back the foreskin & cleaning the area will resolve the issue in some instances. If it persists or is difficult to expose have him seen.
