DS "thing"

This may be tmi but my DS has this odor that is coming from his thing. It kind of smells like fish. He is circumsized but he is a little on the chubby side so it appears he is not and I need to pull the skin back. He isn't red down there and there is no yeast. Could this just be urine making that smell? I feel bad because I bathe him and it still smells.

I would make a doctor's appointment right away.  That doesn't sound normal but then again I don't have boys so I wouldn't really know.

Thing? We're all grown ups, you can say penis. I'd call the advice line personally.

Sounds like a bacterial infection. It's not your fault! Definitely call the doc.

When DS was a baby I would have to pull the skin back to clean it. Even if there was a some gunk in there or it was red it never smelled. It's probably some type of bacterial infection. I would go to the doctor. Until then keep it clean and dry.

Definitely call your doctor's office and speak with a nurse. They will probably tell you to come in because that does not sound normal. My son is intact and he has never had an odor.
