What Can Make A 6 Months Old Scratch His Testicles?
My 6-month old baby boy has started scratching and pulling really hard at his testicles every single time his nappy is changed or taken off! He seems very adamant about it and is most frustrated when the nappy is back on. Is this just exploration or could it be some sort of infection? Been going on for about 2 weeks now.

Hi....by what you say I feel that a mild fungal infection is going on, which is causing itching.
I suggest you either upload an image of the area on this forum and get back to me or get the baby examined by a physician.
