This appears to be a friction injury/abrasion caused by diaper use. The scrotal skin is very delicate, so even mild rubbing can cause skin peeling and soreness. It is usually not serious if managed properly, but needs good care to prevent infection.
Next Steps
• Continue TBact (antibiotic ointment) for a few days to prevent infection
• Apply a healing/barrier cream (like zinc oxide or petroleum jelly) to protect the skin
• Keep the area clean, dry, and well-ventilated
• Change diapers frequently and avoid prolonged moisture
• Prefer loose cotton underwear when not using diapers
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid friction—use soft, well-fitted diapers
• Do not apply harsh antiseptics or powders on raw skin
• If you notice increasing redness, pain, swelling, discharge, or no healing in 5–7 days, consult a doctor
• In elderly patients, healing may be slower, so gentle care is very important
