Brief answer :
Probably a bacterial or candida infection.
Detailed answer :
Hi, welcome to HCM.
In a 6 month baby, redness and inflammation could be due to bacterial infection or candida infection.
You need to do urine routine microscopy and culture test of baby and you should apply locally mupirocin cream.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
