Pediatrics: What’s Causing the Redness on Baby’s Testicles?

Redness on a baby’s testicles may be caused by diaper dermatitis. It’s important to change diapers frequently, keep the area dry and clean, and use non-irritating talcum powder. Avoid using hot water or soap to wash the area if it’s inflamed, as this can worsen the symptoms. Mild diaper dermatitis typically heals within 2 to 3 days, but if more severe symptoms such as skin ulceration occur, seek medical attention promptly.
