What Causes Swelling In The Penis Of A Child Who Is Uncircumcised?
I noticed my infant son, who is uncircumcised had a swollen penis. After his bath I noticed there was a small puss bubble by foreskin and when I squeezed it, puss came out. Is this something I should see a doctor for or just something I should watch to see if it gets worse?

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
What you are quoting could be a smegmoma and what came out might not be pus and it could be smegma. While regular bath retract his foreskin on the penis and clean well. This will do and if the selling is not settling I suggest you see a pediatric surgeon.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
