Jock Itch

How common is jock itch in a small child?

I took my son to the doctor today due to what I thought was a bug bite on his penis and was told it was jock itch. I thought that it was only found in adult men. What is causing the jock itch in my 5 year old son?

jock itch is a fungal infection..........just another name for it when it happens to a boy...

babies get them in their diaper area.....

women get them ( called yeast infections )

could be caused by improper toilet hygiene ( kids this age don't wipe the way they should )

could be sweat / heat / or a combination of all three....

your pediatrician should have given you something like Nystantin for it.....

keep him clean and dry....use lots of cornstarch baby powder....and have him change his undershorts during the day if it's really hot out.
