What Could It Be If Child Is Having Redness In Groin After Having Strep Fever Previously?

My 11-year-old son came to my husband and I tonight and said that he is red around his private area. He showed us and his scrotum is red and hot to the touch. He has been sick with a cold/fever for the last five days. Tonight he has a 99 degree fever. I m just wondering what this could be. He had strep fever six weeks ago and developed a candida rash in his groin area. I was wondering what this could be and is it something I should bring him in for?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi..it could still be a healing candida rash and the raw skin it would have left might have gotten aggravated due to fever. I suggest you continue the same treatment which was suggested for Candida rash and if he develops intense testicular pain or fever aggravates again or it the selling at the groin increases, you take him to emergency room.
