My 21 mo old boy has had a red, painful scrotum today. looks raw, not swollen. cries when i try to wipe it. he's asleep now-is this an er trip?

NO!: Sounds like the skin around the scrotum is irritated and sensitive making it painful . Apply maalox antacid to the affected areas to help with discomfort till it heals.
