What more can I do to help it return to a dilated state?

Question

I am no longer able to dilate the foreskin of my 21 month old son. I read on the website Birth and Growth that it could be posthitis. After discussion with my pharmacist, I have been applying an antibiotic ointment for 5 days. I manage to apply it under the skin, around the glans with a Q-tip, but the orifice is still very small. There was a slight redness and it has disappeared. There is no smell, no itching, no pain, no secretion. If I hadn't tried to dilate his foreskin, I would never have noticed. Hello! For your information; No swelling and I finally consulted. The doctor is not considering posthitis. Probably just an irritation. To be re-evaluated in a few weeks with the doctor. Thank you for your answer

Hello, Do you seem to see any swelling that could explain this change? Complete dilation of the foreskin only occurs between the ages of 3 and 6. However, if it is not the same as before and the antibiotic treatment did not work, it would be better to consult a doctor. I wish you a good evening! Marie-Laurence Gauthier, pharmacist. Great, you did well! So much the better if it's nothing more. Have a nice evening!
