Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Hi guys, I took Jamie to the GP today, to ensure there wasn't a situation there which needed handling. Jamie's been complaining off and on of pain in the area of his penis/testicles. (Jamie is 4 1/2 years old). The GP confirmed that his left testicle hadn't dropped yet, but didn't think that could be the cause of the pain/discomfort, as the pain is not constant. He did however recommend to see someone at the hospital for this, to see if surgery is needed. Any comments anyone? What is the average age for this to happen? Should I be concerned? Or is this quite normal and no handling needed? Also, he found a redness on Jamie's penis inside, and gave us a cream for it: Timodine. The contents don't sound like anything I'd like to give Jamie. It says it contains an antifungal agent, a corticosteroid, and antiseptic and a water-repellent.(?) Can anyone suggest a natural remedy to handle this? And maybe a way to prevent it happening again? I'm not sure what it's caused by. BTW, Jamie still wears nappies, so this could be part of the problem. Any advice would be most welcome :-) love, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if a soothing pure vitamin E cream would be way to go, maybe wash the penis gently with clear water, ensure all dirt and residues are washed away, then dry the penis thoroughly (pat dry for gentleness), then maybe apply a vitamin E cream........ BTW, just a little trick I learnt when my son was a baby and constantly getting nappy rash, the only thing that truely worked and appears safe was good old fashioned cornflour...............no creams and definately NO talcum powders.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 My son had this when he was about Jamie's age (maybe at 5). The DO (Doctor Of Osteopathy *) that I use indicated that he needed to pull back the foreskin and keep his penis clean. Once I started having him do that, the redness/soreness went away. BTW, he was still in diapers (nappies) which is a lot of the culprit on this. Hope this helps for Jamie.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Thanks Marti :-) I started doing this today also. His penis was less red today (due to a cold he had a few days ago, he's still on Total Tonic and Echinacea, so that might be helping there also). I will continue this action then, thanks! love, Lisa - Marti Marshall herbal remedies Wednesday, November 27, 2002 3:42 PM Re: [herbal remedies] Re: need advice for Jamie My son had this when he was about Jamie's age (maybe at 5).

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Hi Kristal, thanks. The "soap" I use is 100% natural ingredients - no chemicals. However, I have been also putting bubble bath in the bath, which may be causing the problem. I have stopped this today, just in case. I do have a good cream that works on nappy rash - the only problem I have with that, is that I don't know if it handles the problem, or whether it simply suppresses the rash back into the body (which some creams apparently do, if the rash is the body trying to get rid of something) Anyway, thanks for the suggestions :-) Lisa - Kristal herbal remedies Wednesday, November 27, 2002 1:32 PM [herbal remedies] Re: need advice for Jamie Greetings Lisa,"Lisa Belcher" <lisabelcher@t...> wrote:> Also, he found a redness on Jamie's penis inside, and gave us a cream for it: Can anyone suggest a natural remedy to handle this?

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Lisa, I am not sure what can be done about the testes, but if he is have pain on and off, perhaps it is just about to drop. As for the red line, Ben gets that on and off. I use a few drops of Lavender EO in his bath and it is not only calming, but any bottom owies simply dissappear. Ben potty trained just this August and still has accidents at night. He is 6 years old.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Nappies are diapers. Tea tree oil has some very good uses. However, since Jamie is so young and it is a urine burn and not a fungus that causes the red line, adding a little Lavender or Chammomile EO to his bath would be less likely to irritate it further.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Thanks Janet. I did have my doubts about Tea Tree Oil. Seemed a bit strong for such delicate area skin.

What are "nappies"? Lisa Belcher [lisabelcher] Tuesday, November 26, 2002 12:07 PMherbal_remedies Subject: [herbal remedies] need advice for Jamie Hi guys, I took Jamie to the GP today, to ensure there wasn't a situation there which needed handling. Jamie's been complaining off and on of pain in the area of his penis/testicles. (Jamie is 4 1/2 years old). The GP confirmed that his left testicle hadn't dropped yet, but didn't think that could be the cause of the pain/discomfort, as the pain is not constant. He did however recommend to see someone at the hospital for this, to see if surgery is needed. Any comments anyone? What is the average age for this to happen? Should I be concerned? Or is this quite normal and no handling needed? Also, he found a redness on Jamie's penis inside, and gave us a cream for it: Timodine. The contents don't sound like anything I'd like to give Jamie. It says it contains an antifungal agent, a corticosteroid, and antiseptic and a water-repellent.(?) Can anyone suggest a natural remedy to handle this? And maybe a way to prevent it happening again? I'm not sure what it's caused by. BTW, Jamie still wears nappies, so this could be part of the problem.
