What Causes Redness And Swelling In Scrotum?

Hello, I noticed yesterday that my six year old child s scrotum has turned red and swollen. He feels slight discomfort on touching it. As well he is walking with his legs spread out to avoid it being rubbed again his thighs. He is otherwise well. I applied some polysporin cream on the scrotum. Since last night, the scrotum appears less red and swollen. Could you please let me know what is wrong with him and how to treat the illness?

It is possible there is a mild infection not the area I recommend consulting with your doctor so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
