Could Red Splotches On Scrotum And Bumps On Penis Of An Infant Be Fungal Infection?

My 1yr old son has red splotches, irrirated looking, only on his scrotum. A few bumps have appeared as well on the tip of his penis and around the scrotum but the rash seems to be localized to his scrotum, and now part of his foreskin. Could this be fungal? It doesn t seem like standard diaper rash. Also, if fungal, is it safe to apply antifungal on his penis / tip of penis? Thanks.

Hi,

Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time.
