My 16 month old son is not circumsized. When he was born I asked his pediatrician how to care for his penis. He told me never to retract his skin and just wash. When he was four months old I took him to the ER because he had a fever for days that was not going down. They inserted a catheter and accussed me of not taking care of his penis. His foreskin had never been retracted until that point because of the advice I had received. They showed me the head of his penis and it had like a white build up. So they instructed me to pull his foreskin back and clean it every time he has a bath. His penis always seems to bother him . Tonight he has been crying for hours, but I couldn t figure out what was wrong. I finally checked his penis and the head looks really red and the opening looks swollen. My husband is now at the ER with him. But, I feel very skeptical as to what they might do (I feel that they have caused the problem with his penis 1. because of inserting a catheter 2. because of retracting his foreskin at 4 mo old). Please help.
