Could The Irritation Under The Foreskin Be Causing Pain To Retract?
y uncircumcised 11 year old son has had pain in his genital area for 4 days. He is not running a fever and no pain during urination. His dad thinks maybe he needs to be pulling the foreskin back further, because he can not pull it back very far. Could he have some irritation under the foreskin causing the pain?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would need physical examination done to know exact cause but looking at the history it seems that your child is suffering from phimosis which is the inflammation of glans penis due to tight foreskin which causes pain in glans penis. If it is that case then I would suggest you to get his Circumcision done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
