What Could Cause Yeast Infection In A 3 Years Old Child?
My three year old son had a yeast infection on his penis and testicles a few months ago.The doctor gave us cream and it went away. My son just informed me that his penis hurt and when i looked at it, his entire scrotum and inner thighs have red bumps that seem to be oozing. They dont look clear like blisters,and they are painful for him. He is also pottytrained.

Hello,
Probably your son got secondary bacterial infection. Ask your dermatologist for combination antifungal, steroid, antibacterial ointment. Add oral probiotics, keep diapers dry and change frequently.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
