16 Month Old with Sore Penis

Hi, my son is 16 months old and a few hours ago while changing his diaper I noticed that his penis seened a bit swollen & a bit darker than usual and it seemed to be a little uncomfortable to him. I put him in the tub & then he had a nap for two hours. I just checked him when he woke up & it still seemed to be the same way. I'm very worried that this is serious & that he is in pain. This is my first little boy & I don't know what this could be (already made an appt. with Doc for Weds for him, can't get in any sooner) & just called our 811 Nurse Line for our area. Someone will call me back within half an hour & I'll explain his symptoms & then they will let me know what they think it is & if I should bring him to the ER. If anyone here knows what this could be could you please let me know while I wait. I'm really worried. Thanks

Is he circumcised? My son is and he had his start to grow back together and yeast started to grow under it and caused it to swell and become really red. I got yeast infection prescription and anti bacterial cream to put on it and it had to be pulled apart =( hope everything is okay.

Have you looked at it really close? Make sure that it doesn't have a string or hair wrapped around it.

My son was cir. but they didnt snip enough off so his skin still covers his head and some times his head gets really red and swollen. Ive told his dr and she didnt seem worried. I will let him walk around with out his diaper after his bath to let it air out if its getting swollen.

 I would make sure there is no hair or string wrapped around it.
