A member asked:

My son is 6 yrs old & he's had a fungal skin infection for more than a month. we got canex t and allergex from a gp but it's still not clearing.

May not be fungal: A prime reason for a good treatment to fail is the diagnosis was wrong to begin with. A month of treatment 2X/d with this cream should show at least some improvement. If not, the condition may be one of several that mimics skin fungus.
