What Could Cause Penile Itch In A 5 Years Old Child?

Hi, my five year old son complains of his penis being itchy. Only the tip itches. No sign of rash or redness and no pain. He is circumcised. He has been to the pediatrician's office but after seeing no signs of irritation; she advised us to come back in a few weeks if it hasn't gone away. Any ideas? Thanks

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. If your pediatrician could not find any problem about this, I too suggest you not to worry. Itching sensation could be an obsession. I suggest you to help him wash the inner parts of the penis with warm water and keep the area dry and clean.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
