Brief Answer:
It can be fungal infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your grandson might be having fungal infection.
I would suggest that you should get him clinically examined by his Paediatrician.

Local application of skin cream containing betamethasone and antifungal medication like miconazole may be helpful.
Any medication should be given under medical supervision only.

Local area hygiene should be maintained.

I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
