2 Year Old with "Private Part" Issues

In addition to my answer, please take Dawn B's advice FIRST about seeing the urologist!

If this a case of not "enough" tissue cut away, then I would leave it alone. Uncircumcised boys' flesh does not pull away until about 10 to 12 years old and the parents are told NOT to pull it away AT ALL because it is not meant to be pulled away. It will happen on it's own. Each time you pull the skin apart you are tearing it all over again and it WILL cause problems later.

My son IS circumcised, so I am not making a judgement about that topic. A friend had a son a few years after I did so I learned a lot when I helped her do research on whether or not to circumcise her son. Now that I think about it, I never asked her what they chose :)

Hope your son heals soon and that it heals the way it needs to.

We've had a similar problem with our son's who is now 5. We took him to an urologist who recommended massaging the adhesions with a warm wet washcloth during bath time. He wouldn't consider surgical intervention until after age 9.
BTW, the urologist we took him to was Michael Nguyen (pronounced "gwen") at ###-###-####. He was the nicest doctor. My son usually freaks out at doctors and he made it completely painless and comfortable even for something so sensitive.

If i were you I would get a second opinion from another Dr. I have 2 boys and have never had this issue. Your son should not be complaining of pain and am shocked that a Dr. would not be concerned. It obviously is not normal as you can tell from your friends responses. I would just see if there is something that can be fixed. I would be concerned for the future as well.

My son had the same issue. After his circ, the skin would constantly get stuck and I had to pull it back. I took him to a pediatric urologist, who said that time would tell but he thought there was too much skin left. He said that little boys usually "grow" enough to tell by age 2. Then at age 2 there was still too much skin, and he re-did my son's circ. I couldn't be happier with the results. We went to Dr. Phillip Gleason, who has several valley offices, and I was very impressed with him.

My son had the same problem around that age. He is now 3 1/2 and it is fine. We make him pull the skin back himself in the bath but it hasn't gotten red or irritated or "stuck" for quite some time now.
I was nervous too when it was doing that and I too took him to the ped and they told me it was just fine and that it is better to have too much skin than not enough.

Good luck :)

My son has the same problem, it sounds like he didnt have enough skin cut off. This is something he will grow into and you wont have to pull it back forever. When he gets old enough make it his job in the bathtub. What we have decided is that it is better to have to much skin then not enough. Just keep putting vasline on it and pulling it back once a day. If it gets bright red and he starts complaining then I would talk to his dr.
