Hi.
As per your case history your son is probably having mild infection called as balanitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't apply soap or any antiseptic lotion like Dettol on that part.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
3. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral NSAID given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
