What Causes Itching Feeling In An Infants Scrotum?
My son is 11 months old and has moderate eczema. Since my other children had it when they were young, we know how to keep it under control. But for the past 4 weeks, he has been frantically trying to itch his scrotum. There doesn t appear to be a rash there, so I initially tried an anti-fungal cream for a week, but his symptoms didn t seem to improve. I just changed him and I noticed blood in his diaper from all the scratching. I put aquaphor on it to provide a barrier between his scratches and urine for the night. But, this whole situation has me baffled! Any suggestions?
