Question
My son is four months old, and his penis smells bad. It smells bad, but I often clean him with warm water, including the inside of his penis. After cleaning, the smell goes away, but it comes back a few hours later. What should I do?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you described, your baby appears to have symptoms of vaginitis. The condition should not be too serious. I recommend changing diapers frequently to prevent cross-infection. You might also consider using some clotrimazole cream and keeping the area clean. These are suggestions for the issue of “smelly penis in a four-month-old male.” I hope they are helpful to you, and I wish you good health!
