Hi, my son was in preschool on Friday and got kicked in the groin. I was not informed and only found out when giving my son aged 4 a bath. When telling the director he seemed to be a bit on the defensive suggesting the groin area does not go red when kicked. The redness was only on the tip and was a very dark red colour. I took my son down to the doctor on Friday and he prescribed antibiotic cream and did not question whether it was a kick. I am wondering whether the redness is normal. Thanks
HI...the redness is not normal. It can be due to an infection like cellulitis or an injury. Only detailed history will ascertain what it is because of. As to your question about whether the redness is normal, no it is not normal. Regards -
