My 2 year old son has what looks like a vein bulging out from where his penis starts. i'm not sure if that's what it is or not.

Vein?: It could be normal but if you are concerned about it show it to his pediatrician. Good luck

Probably normal: Many men & boys hav a prominent vein, called Dorsal Vein of Penis, starting at base of penis. Not a cause for concern!
