Hi...please take him to his pediatrician immediately . If he is crying by just touching them it can be testicular torsion or epidymoorchitis. Both need immediate medical attention.
I do not think a simple fungal infection or skin infection of the scrotum can cause this.
The other possibility is that it could be cellulitis of the skin of the scrotum.
