Be rechecked: It is possible that there is now a bacterial infection in addition to the fungal infection,especially if he has been scratching the area or it could be irritated.Either way,he may need a change in the treatment and should be examined for that to happen.You may be able to do that virtually,if you have HealthTap Prime or his doctor may be doing Telemedicine visits from their office;call them to see.
