A member asked:
My 2 year old is complaining about a sore penis. he swam recently in baggies without a nappy could it be chafe or what do i look for if its infected?

Hard to say: The origin of his discomfort could be several things. The tissue involved is sensitive & subject to swelling and color change with such things as an insect bite. Infection would be suggested if there is redness or drainage from any site including from the pee opening. Chafing would not be common in a swim session exposure.
