Question

There’s a little bulge on the head of my baby’s penis when he pees. What could this be? We just noticed it and he has never been treated for it. We would like to know if there are any treatment options.

Answer

This could be a symptom of genital herpes. It usually starts with a burning sensation, followed by clusters of red bumps and itching. Treatment for this condition primarily involves antiviral medications such as acyclovir. It is recommended that you visit a hospital promptly for a diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. Do not take it lightly.
