Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

When did the problem start? Is the testicles painful to touch? Any itching there? If not of sudden onset, there is no fever/discharge from penis/pain over testicle, we need not worry, this may suggest candidiasis(fungal infection). After confirming the diagnosis, this can be treated with anti-fungal creams like clotrimazole. In this case, you can wait for the appointment. Meanwhile, keep the area clean and dry. Frequent wetting exacerbates the condition.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
