Question
my son has two lumps on his penis. they don't hurt when he goes to the bathroom but it hurts when you squeeze them a little.he is not circumcised and his only three year old.I don't have insurance so i want to know if its something i need to take him to the hospital about.

Answer
Hi, junior,

Without seeing him and examining him, I really have no idea what these lesions are.  If they are painless and not changing, I would feel comfortable following them.  If they are sore or changing, it would be best to have someone who knows about kids take a look.  This is not something that an ER should address.  

Sorry I can't be of more help, Dr. Olson♠

I would be happy to attempt to answer any questions about general pediatric topics, either medical issues or behavioral issues. This would include all the various questions one receives in a busy pediatric practice. I`m a board certified pediatrician in northern Michigan and have been in practice for over 15 years. I enjoy the teaching role I have in our practice and would enjoy the opportunity to help others with their pediatric problems.
