baby boy red urethra

My son's urethra is very red.  Has anyone dealt with this before or know what it is? 

Re: baby boy red urethra

  • Like the urethral opening? If its that, I have no idea. Or just the tip of his penis? Could just be some irritation from the diaper.  Have you tried a dab of diaper cream?  Also that area has lots of blood vessels so sometimes it may seem more red than others.

  • The hole on my son's penis was red and last time we were at the doctor I asked about it and he said it looked normal.  I would ask your pediatrician though.
  • I asked about this last week at his check-up, and the doctor said it was caused by friction from the diaper.  Nothing to worry about.

  • My ds actually got a yeast infection around his. Took him to the pedi and they gave him an anti fungal cream and it's so much better now.

  • Thanks everyone!  It seems to have gone away, I think it was just iritation from his diaper.
