What Could Red Bumps On Scrotum Indicate?

HI my 3 month old son has had a red bump on the left side of scrotum for about 2 weeks now. The bump is not hard it's soft on palpation. Does not appear to be causing discomfort. This morning I noticed that his scrotal sac on the same side was a bit puffy. what could this mean?

It seems to be an infection. It starts with a nappy rash caused by Tinea named fungus; and, now it seems to be secondarily infected by the bacteria too. Bacteria are in abundance in this area due to the diapers.


Care:-
Change the diaper frequently.
Take care of the feeding of baby to avoid dehydration. If he doesn't wet the diapers properly, it will b a sign of dehydration.


Medications:-
Apply to the genital areas Balmex ointment and Triple antibiotic ointment after wiping out before applying a new diaper. It will all be OK in a few topical applications.
