My dog's scrotum is red and rashy from a soiled crate, what's wrong?

Question

I came home today from my work and saw that my 11 month old American Bully had a bowl movement and smeared it all over on himself and throughout his crate. I then immediately gave him a bath, and that’s when I noticed his scrotum is bright red with a rash or red like bumps on it. (I’ve attached photos) I observe his body daily. I know that symptom was not there yesterday. Does anyone know what this problem may be, and how I can resolve this problem. Please help. I blame myself. I’m panicking. :(. Pet's info: Dog | American Bully | Male | unneutered | 10 months and 18 days old | 35 lbs

If it appeared suddenly after being in a soiled crate, it’s more likely to be dermatitis (an infection /inflammation of the skin) than more severe conditions such as brucellosis or orchitis. If you’re not able to bring him to your vet ASAP, I recommend placing an e-collar to prevent licking and cleaning the area with chlorhexidine antibacterial shampoo or wipes (available at pet stores) twice a day for 3 days. If the redness hasn’t subsided by then, definitely schedule an appointment with your vet, as a prescription steroid/antibiotic ointment such a dermavet would likely work faster! Best wishes!
