You could try to clean the area with a mild soap and water. You can put a cone collar on his to prevent licking so he doesn't make the infection worse. If it's a urinary tract infection, it likely won't get better without oral antibiotics but you can try to encourage him to drink more water to help flush him out. I hope this helps.
