Needs to be checked: Itchy penis head in a 9tears old needs to be checked to find the cause and appropriate therapy . So take him to your child's pediatrician to get him examined.

Itchy penis head: Check him for a fungal infection and the possibility of pinworms. A tight foreskin may also cause itching.
