Dermatitis: You didn't indicate if child is crying from the swelling! Best guess is that from wetting self and being in a damp diaper an irritation of the skin will cause a redness and a swelling of the area. Make sure to change diapers frequently and use a desitin like substance to protect the skin area. Hope that helps.
