My 18 month old little boy has just had a bath, and I noticed one of his testicles was much larger than the other one, to the point we thought one of them wasnt even there! It is very red but has been for a few days along with the end of his penis which I thought was just nappy rash. It doesnt seem to be causing him any pain when touched? What could this be?
Reclothe redness and swelling of testicle can be due to inflammation, a condition known as orchids. Although pain is a common association, but sometimes pain may appear later on. This inflammation is mostly due to some infection. Treatment with antibiotic and hot fomentation help in relieving symptoms. I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician for direct clinical examination and management accordingly. Regards
