Suggest Treatment For Diaper Rash In A Child
I believe my child may have a diaper rash. He has an read urethra (about 2 days) and just recently has around 5 or so red bumps on the tip of his penis and some on his scrotum. He is 13 months old and does not seem to show signs of discomfort. I am wondering if I should take him to the doctor. I have many nieces and know what it looks like on a little girl, but not my own little boy. Thank you for your insight.

Hello,
What you describe could very well be a diaper rash. As this is not bothering him, let me suggest you change his diaper frequently (maybe every two hours) to minimize the time his skin is in contact with the urine.
Also, you might have him sleep without a diaper on and place something absorbent between his body and the sheet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Arnold Zedd
