[|Human|] I have a two month old son, recently his skin around the tip of his penis is peeling away, the best way to explain it is that it look like it has been ate around it! Is this normal? I had him at the doctors already because it looked red raw and he said he will more than likely need to be circumcised when he is 2 or 3 as he said it looked very tight.
[|AI|]  Hi, If it is not hurting, and there is no active discharge or bleeding, you need not worry now. Some babies develop excoriation / superficial ulceration there from frequent wetting. Just keep the area clean and Chat Doctor.  I used to give local antibiotics like juridic acid for local application twice daily in such cases-this will prevent secondary infection and promote healing. Regarding tightness, it is very common at this age-known as physiological fibrosis, and will usually disappear its own by 2-3 years of age. So if the urine stream is normal(not abnormally narrow/broken), nothing to worry. Avoid forceful retraction, as this causes scarring and adhesions. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
