Gabriel had to make a run to Urgent Care this morning. He had been complaining that his wiener hurt and had been peeing less than usual (and not at all at school). We thought UTI and when we called the Nurse Hotline last night they thought yeast infection. It was neither of those.

They got him to pee in a cup and said there's no UTI, but then they looked at his wiener, they found the problem out. He is uncircumcised and the foreskin is now pulling back from the head. Normally this occurs naturally and over time. It had been doing so, but Gabriel was messing with his wiener and seems to have pulled it back a bit too far. Now it's red, irritated, and a bit bloody.

So, the remedy for this is Vaseline. After he goes to the bathroom, after he bathes, when he changes clothes, etc. Vaseline should help it feel better, help protect it, and make sure it doesn't stick back onto the head.

Poor little guy. But at least it's not something bad like a UTI.
