How To Treat Red And Painful Scrotum Of An Infant?
My 11 month old son has red balls no swoling just red and when I go to wipe them he crys and screams from the pain only his balls are red and it happened just within 7 hours im putting diaper rash cream for now any idea what this could be and should I take him to his dr
Hi...please take him to his pediatrician immediately . If he is crying by just touching them it can be testicular torsion or epidymoorchitis. Both need immediate medical attention. I do not think a simple fungal infection or skin infection of the scrotum can cause this. The other possibility is that it could be cellulitis of the skin of the scrotum. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
