I have a son who is 8 y/o, ad/hd and he constantly rubs his penis. He says the tip of it itches, Help!?

Perhaps he has an infection and you should take him to see his doctor?  I'm  surprised that he likes to whack it so much since he's only 8.  Good for him, I guess.  Since he rubs it so much it's probably just sore and you should try to keep him from doing that.  If it's the kind of "itch" that I think you're talking about then maybe a little sex talk might be in order..... mainly just to let him know it's normal, and it's okay.... in private.

Take every day a hot bath and move slowly your skin up and down. Pull it every time a little bit further. Do this for a few weeks. This way you can slowly stretch the skin and day-by-day you can get the skin more further over the top of the penis. Keep repeating this until it goes easier.\nIf this doesn’t work, than I think you should visited the doctor. Maybe you need a little cut in the skin. There are many other boys with the same problem. Don’t feel sham. \n\nIf your penis is red and irritated my advice will be: go to the doctor too. \nBut I can understand if you don’t feel comfortable to go,  so try this first. Because if you can’t move your skin you probably never wash it. This way he become dirty. That is why he is so red and irritated. \nIf you can’t wash it try this:\nWhile sitting in bath(no soap), pull you skin like you make you penis longer. Open the skin and let the water go in, close the skin and massage now the water what you hold in the top of your penis. Let the water go out and repeat. This way the dirt can get out. Do this a couple of times for one week. If you do it good, you will see it become less irritated. If it does so keep going on until it is not irritated anymore, but if NOT, please for your own good go to the doctor.\nGood luck

Bathe him with soap and water often, esp. after he urinates or deficates. Keep his diaper off to air dry after his bath, and for as long as possible. The air will help. Use a diaper rash cream with zinc in it, in the morning and at night. If this doesn't clear it up, then bring him to see a Dr. it could be a very contageous skin condition that needs a medicated treatment. Use gloves to apply the zinc cream to protect yourself, just in case.

* Are they only on his arms?\n* Does he have a sibling or friend who is pulling on his arms?\n* Do they occur after washing his hands/arms?\n* Are you using a new detergent in the washer?\n* Are you using a new body lotion?\n* Is he playing with something new?\n* Do you have pets that he hugs?\n* Does this only occur when he's been outside?\n* Does this only occur when he's wearing certain shirts of pajamas?\n* Have you bought him new bedding recently?\n\nAnalyse the above questions.  He may have an allergy to something  in or around your house.  If so, try removing those and see if the redness decreases.

Oh, No, NO, NO!!! Do NOT take his string away!!!  Do NOT try to break his habits, until you have gotten training in how to do it without making him withdraw any further from the world!\n\nAutism is a very tricky problem. He is responding to the world the way he really does see it. How would you like it if, every time you did anything, you were not allowed to do it?  No, you can't scratch your itches, no matter how much they hurt... No, you can't look at anything pretty or interesting? No, you can't do anything you enjoy doing?\n\nYou may not understand what he sees in that string, or what he feels that cause him to have his other behaviors.\n\nThere are special programs designed, through research and through the comments and suggestions of those intelligent autistics, now adults, who are able to communicate effectively, to help your son learn new ways of seeing his world, and learn new behaviors.\n\nHow old is he? If he is under the age of 22, he (and you) should be receiving specialized Autism programming through the public schools, with home training services linked through the school social worker.  If he is under the age of 3, you are eligible for service support in your home (Individualized Family Service Program). If he is age 3 or 4, he should be in a specialized preschool program. If he is ages 5 through 21, he should be getting specialized programming through the nearest public school.\n\nSee these links:\n\nhttp://www.autismweb.com/\nhttp://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/brain/autism.html\nhttp://www.autism-society.org/site/PageServer\nhttp://wwww.spedusource.org/

the testicles go up and down independently, it's a self regulating organ for producing sperm. You other issue is not related to the first question. Often if u took a shower or bath and do not dry properly and /or sweat accessively, the moisture allow fungus to grow. and causes itchiness and soreness from your scratching due to tear. It's call jock itch.....go to nearest drug store they are cream, spray or powder available. if not sure ask a pharmacist for reccommedation. Make sure you dry your groin area well before apply and try to keep it dry at all time...

Good for you being a concerned parent!  I think I've seen just about everything...that doesn't sound like parafenelia.  If you're concerned, sit down and have a talk with him.  If he's clean, he'll appreciate it.  If he's using, it will scare him a little.  Hopefully he's honest with you.  Best of luck!

It seems like he might just be saying that.  Little kids do stuff like that.  If you believe it's something more than just a phase he's going through, take him to the doctor.  Maybe he has a really sensitive nose.

2 things you can do.\n\n1) Go to a "Head Shop" and buy what is called, "Detoxify". It's a drink.\n\n2) Go to GNC store and buy a bottle of "Niacin". It will make his skin red, and he will itch, but that's the impurities coming out. After a few hours, (6), it goes away. DO NOT SCRATCH IT! That makes it WAY WORSE! \n\nI've been clean now off of that myself for a few years now. It was hard, but possible. Good luck!

at a young age  erections are not sexual they r uncontrollable bc kids dont know what causes it or how to stop and start it. I think at 4 or 5 it is time to let them doit themself. but dont freak out it is very normal.

i just seen a show about buried penis, and usually when a penis is buried it is caused from some extra skin around the sac, either on one side or can be on both sides.  and this can also be caused from not such a good circumcision at birth, but 85% his penis will not grow the right way and it will stay buried, the only thing you can do for this is take him to see the doctor, but right now is too early.  he may even want to do this when he gets older too.  the doctor will remove the skin that is making his penis buried and then he will add this skin up behind the penis and this will keep the penis in the correct lining.  but no need to worry if you all dont have this done, he can still get a full erection and the erection will come completely out how it is suppose too.

ILLLLL. NO. I think u need to talk to that six year old. That is nasty. It's is normal for a baby to touch themselves with their OWN hand, but not a six year old. And not wit a other kid hand. I think that child has been watching some adult movies or shows.

Talk to your doctor. I am circumcised so I really don't have much experience dealing with this issue. But, apparently this is a common problem for those of you that are uncut (at least judging by the number of times this question appears here). Your doctor has probably seen and dealt with this issue before. My understanding is that it is a simple problem to take care of.\n\nTerry\n\nPS: KC, he's talking about it because it's a painful situation and it has nothing to do with him masturbating or not. He is concerned about a legitimate health issue. If you are not mature enough to understand that then stay off here please. By the way, I am reporting you for being rude and insulting to other Answers members.

hmm this leaves me very disturbed.  You poor baby boy!  I would have told the doctor many next time, i never would have forced any of my children to do something they were uncomfortable with.  Doctor's check lil boys testicles to make sure the drop early on like for the first 3 yrs, but if u were there for a wellness exam, he shouldnt be touching their private parts.  You should realllllly look into weather other doctors practice this.  I live in kansas and work in the medical field and i have NEVER heard of this.  We respect children's dignities, even in genitourinary surgery where we have to see and touch their privates but we wait until the time is appropriate and children feel safe.  It doesnt sound like it was necessary and if ur son was uncomfortable, you should have asked why he was uncomfortable , like in a private bathroom, and then explain to him the situation, if he still doesnt cooporate, find another doc he is comfortable with, and if that doesnt work you should start wondering why he is uncomfortable with his privates being touched by a doc, and i think u know where im going with this.... but children have rights to their bodies to thats all im saying.- mas for the other answers that were posted i somewhat agree but why scar the poor boy if it isnt necessary- btw doctors are human not god, and and there are som nasty sick ones out there, be careful what u tell ur child not all police men and doctors are good ppl.

i live in hawaii as well as i'm from florida where both places have so much staph. you only get staph from open sores that become infected, puss like stuff will be coming out and no it doesn't itch. hurts like hell all the way to the bone. i spent a week last year in the hospital due to staph which is not something to mess with. your child sounds as if they have a rash of some sort. go see a different doctor.

Sometimes theres no gentle way to do it.  Tell him he smells and its very unpleasant for everyone around him.  he probably cant smell it any more.

No one here can diagnose what is going on with your son and even a doctor couldn't diagnose it without examining him.   While it might be an allergy, it could also be an insect bite or an infection or any number of things, who knows?  Please take your son to the doctor or E.R. to find out for sure.
