A member asked:
My infant son has a red ring around his circumsized penis. it seems to bother him a little. what could be the cause or treatment for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: Generally some redness around the remaining skin on a circumcised penis is a local irritation, with a local skin infection also a possibility (so many bacteria in the perineum!). The best thing to do is use water to wash the area (no soap or wipes), and put some a and d or even a little antibacterial ointment on the area).
