Thanks for contacting with the health concern and looking into the case history it is probably 'jock itch'/scrotal dermatitis

1. as there is history of not taking bath for 3 consecutive days, thus probably bacterial overgrowth,irritation,moisture,fungus has caused the same

2. jock itch is easily curable with medicine(s) and by maintaining proper hygiene:
. ask him to use loose clothing [cotton underwear]
. a good absorbing powder will be an ideal choice
. mild potency topical steroid [betnovate-N] with a mild antihistamine [avil/benadryl] will help ease his symptoms.

3. If symptoms persists ask him to visit [if possible] a good dermatologist or primary care physician.
