A two-month-old male infant presented with progressive swelling over both sides of scrotum, moderate to high fever and listlessness since five days. The scrotal skin was reddened, edematous, tense, and shiny. There was an ulcerated lesion of size 5 × 5 centimeters present over both sides of the scrotum. The edges of the ulcer were edematous, reddened, and irregular. The floor had slough, with a purulent, fowl smelling discharge. Both the testes were exposed. Perineal and perianal area was otherwise normal (Fig. 1). A disgnosis of Fournier’s gangrene was made. The patient was treated with antibiotics in addition to wide surgical debridement. The surgical wound healed well after secondary suturing (Fig. 2).
