Pediatrician 's  Response
Brief answer:
Pyoderma.

Detailed answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
By what you quote it seems that your child probably has got pyoderma at penile region. For pyoderma we need to give antibiotic like amoxyclav for 5 days and have to apply mupirocin cream at the site. For proper dosage of antibiotic, we need exact weight of child.
I advice you to revert back with exact weight of child and a few good pictures of lesions.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
