Uncircumcised

Hi moms! My 5 month old is uncircumcised and the tip of his foreskin started looking a bit red. I am concerned as he also started grabbing it. He does not seem in pain but I also know that he is a very strong baby per other circumstances. Have you ever had this happen to your boy? Thanks!

What came first? The grabbing or the redness?

Sometimes my little boys area is a little red, not just there but all around . I always assumed it’s his nappy nothing to do with whether he is circumcised or not as it comes and goes and not just in one place xx

Not mine specifically but sometimes it doesn't grow as the baby grows which in that case, would be circumcised. Sometimes it just becomes red from irritation or thrust so I'd probably get it checked out to see if it's medical. Otherwise, try changing the washing powder perhaps but if he's not crying, I wouldn't worry about pain as such. X

Check with your pediatrician if it worries you or continues. This happened with our babe but it was nothing to worry about, it was part of the process of foreskin naturally pulling back according to our pediatrician.

It is common for there to be mild irritation as the foreskin is able to be more retracted. Keep it clean, if it gets worse or he is in pain then see the doctor
