Have you taken him to a Doctor he may be allergic to something like diapers or creams he may even have a UTI you need to see a doctor as this will certainly be distressing for your little boy and you as a parent have a responsibility to see to his wellbeing and comfort ..... never try to self diagnose where young children are concerned.
