What Causes Swelling And Itching On Penis?

My 11 yr old son s penis is swollen just below the head. The swollen area is red, a little tender, itchy and a little painful. He complained about it being itchy last night before bed. When examining it, it was a littel red but not swollen. We told him to leave it alone. This morning is is very swollen and red. Any ideas how to proceed. Dad

Pediatrician, Neurology 's  Response
I am not sure he is circumcised or not? uncircumcised penis inflammation may need just to retract prepuce and clean and avoid contact with irritant soaps. This is a common problem and less cause of concern.
