Hi there,

My DS who is just 12 months has a very red foreskin. It was a little red yesterday but today looks much worse. It's not swollen or anything, but does look quite sore. He doesn't mind me touching it though (in fact he got an erection when I was checking it out ) so I don't think it is that bad...

Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to help clear it up? I don't think it is nappy rash cos he doesn't have any anywhere else, so think it must be a little infection. DH likes to put powder (cornstarch) on him after his bath and I'm wondering if perhaps a grain has gotten underneath and caused it...

Also, at what age is it that you should start cleaning underneath it? I thought it wasn't till they are much older, but TBH aren't exactly sure when...

TIA
