What Causes A Rash Around The Penis Of A Toddler With Fever?

Yes, my four year old son just came home from his fathers house and has a red rash on and around his penis. He also has a fever and flu like symptoms. His father is also sick so I am not sure if the fever is associated with the rash. i will be taking him to the doctor tomorrow but is there anything I can do now and should i be worried?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hello,

With two people in the house being sick - it means viral illness. The other possibility is you say the penis is red is that it could be balanitis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
