What Causes Redness In The Scrotum Of A 2 Year Old?
My nephew is 2 years old and his scrotum is extremely RED for the past severel weeks. It seems to be painful because he will not let anyone put cream on that infected area. The Doc. said that it is an infection that is due to poor circumsizion. Can anything be done to help this infection? Or could there be another reason for this infection?

Hi..... By what you say, I put forth these possibilities -
1. Superficial fungal infection of the region.
2. Localised Cellulitis.
3. Eczema of the region.
I suggest you upload images on this web site and get back to me as skin conditions are best identified and treated after seeing them directly.
