What Causes Small Rash Around A Child S Scrotum Area?

My 9 year old son had a small rash around his scrotum area, I was away for 3 weeks and the rash has since grown and has become quite large and now down around his bottom, we tried using nappy rash cream and pawpaw cream, but hasnt seemed to have hepled, now its starting to dry up and has gone froma red colour to a whitish colour, what could this be?
