What would cause cryptococcus albidus to be growing so thick on my sons head...dsmo and stieprox are the treament. it covers the entire top of head?

Like any fungus...: ...It grows where it finds food. If the scalp is irritated by an allergy or mechanical scraping, it may produce discharge on which the cryptococcus could feed and grow.
