A member asked:

My son is 6 years old, his penis is swollen at the base and red. but i see his foreskin does not go over completely. he can how ever urinate normally. is there something i can do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to be sure: This is often due to a simple insect bite reaction which will trigger the swelling & itching. If so it would fade over a few days. An antihistamine may help with the itching & a cool rag/compress would help with local discomfort. If the area gets increasingly red/drains anything I would have him seen.
