Are Skin Rashes On Scrotum Normal In Infants?

my friend has a 3 year old boy who has a severe diaper rash and has been put on Keflex. his mom noticed a red raised line (looks like skin had been sewn together kinda line) going from rectum to scrotum. the child is not sick (other than this rash) and acting fine. is this normal part of anatomy or something to be concerned about??

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Raised linear part of skin is normal anatomical structure.. so do not worry. The rash is diaper rash may be candidal infection precipitated by wetness,perspiration,soap and water. Keep the area opened and dry. Apply Antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream. Wish the part with antiseptic like diluted dettol. Avoid soap bath. Sprinkle clotrimazole powder after bath. This might improve the condition.

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