Red Rash On Scrotum Spreading Towards Penis Head. Does Not Look Like Bug Bite. What Is It?
My infant son has a red rash on his scrotum that seems to be spreading to the head of his penis. it looks like little red bumps on his penis. The area on his sack started out small nd gradually.got larger and larger. I took him to his doctor and I totally disagree with her theory, which is bug bite. It looks nothing at all like a bug bite it almost looks like tiny little water bumps on top of a red oval.

Hi,
From history it seems that this might be Diaper rash giving rise to this problem.
Due diaper or remaining diaper wet for a bit long time can cause this rash.
Change the diaper brand, change it frequently.
Apply some moisturizing lotion on the part.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
