Does A Red Painful Bump On The Penis Require Medical Attention?
My 7 year old son came home from school acting normal. Later in the evening he complained of pain near his penis. When I looked I noticed a bump red in color on the backside of his penis. He said a little boy ran into him by accident, hitting him there. Should I bring him to the doctor or is this something I shouldn t worry too much about?

Hi...definitely see a doctor as it can get secondarily infected due to the wetness in the area due to underclothing and also it can lead on to balanoposthitis.
