Question
A few days ago, my son bumped into his genitalia at kindergarten, and it was a bit scraped! I took him to the doctor, and they said it was fine! But the next day, I noticed he kept touching himself and was sweating all over! Now that the wound has healed, he still touches himself. Is this a sign of precocious puberty? He never did that before the injury!
Answer
Is there an itchy feeling after the scab forms that leads him to touch it? Just observe for now. You can tell him that area is off-limits. Has the wound completely healed? Try telling him to stop and observe for two days. It’s best to go to the hospital’s endocrinology department for the corresponding examination and treatment. At the same time, control your child’s daily food intake in daily meals. Reduce foods like refined sugars, chocolates, candies, canned fruits, sodas, sugary drinks, jams, ice cream, sweet biscuits, cakes, sweet bread, and sweet pastries. Increase consumption of foods like milk, green vegetables, spinach, carrots, and mushrooms.
