What Could Be The Stuck Skin To The Head Of Penis In A Toddler?
My 4 year old son s is uncircumcised and there is a piece of skin that is stuck to the head of the penis. When he tries to pull the skin back to clean it and to pee it will not pull back because of the skin attached to the head-it is not that the skin is too tight, but stuck! what needs to be done?

Hi,
This might suggest adhesion between foreskin and glans or phimosis. Usually this will respond to application of mild topical steroids like hydrocortisone cream for 1-2 weeks. If no response, kindly take him to your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
