I don't think you should be overly worried, but I would certainly take him to a doctor for evaluation. It could be completely normal - if he is in diapers, it could be that his penis is just in an uncomfortable, restricted position when it becomes erect. If it is a medical condition (such as phimosis), a doctor can treat it.

Is the head of his penis swollen or red?
