The skin under my sons penis where it folds seems to be cut. The skin is abrased. It looks red and painful. I dont know if he had scratched it of if it is some sort of nappy rash.
What can i do to help it heal before it gets worse?
You could put nappy rash cream on it or try a more natural cream like pawpaw ointment on it. This has healing and anti bacterial properties and will also provide a barrier against his wee, which will irritate it further. Smells good too, just don't eat it! lol. It doesn't taste as good as it smells!
It can be a sensitive area, try some Egoderm that should clear it up quickly.
Af it looks sore you can use a little salt in the bath water to help cleanse it and if warm let him run around without his nappy...air and sunshine are great healers.
My suggestion is to keep checking it out to make sure it doesn't get worse, in the meantime, you can use an antibacterial ointment on it so that it doesn't get infected.
