What Causes Itching And Bumps On Penis Foreskin Of A 3 Year Old?

My son is 3.5 years old. He is suffering from intense itching on the external foreskin of his penis especially the underside. It is reddened swollen and has small red bumps. The itching is intense. I tried vaseline, aveeno lotion and they have not helped. I just put monistat and triamcinolone.
