Cases due to wasp stings can present with delayed complications due to toxins.[8] The prognosis is usually good, but severe cases require emergency management. Although systemic reactions to insect bites are rare in children, they can be life-threatening and should be kept in mind.[3] Penile angioedema due to drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme-inhibitors subsides after discontinuing the drug and can recur on further exposure to the same drug.[16]CONCLUSIONAcquired penile edema is rare in pediatric males. Angioedema of the penis can be due to insect bite which is usually missed by the parents and can cause nightmare to the parents. Proper history and thorough clinical examination are necessary. Apart from treatment, proper counseling and reassurance are required in such cases. Penile angioedema should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis of penile swelling, as early diagnosis and management may prevent fatal complications.Declaration of patient consentThe authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent.Financial support and sponsorshipNil.Conflicts of interestThere are no conflicts of interest.ReferencesLung AK, Robson WL.
