its caused by a fungus, a micorb related to mushrooms and yeast. Everyone has fungus and bacteria that live on the surface of the skin. When they are in balance, they keep each other in check, no rashes. But if all the bacteria die, the fungus will grow too much=rash. The same is true of the bacteria.
It is true that unusual fungal infections are symptoms of HIV, but your doc would do a test if he thought that was the root cause. If you think you were exposed, have a test done.
In the mean time, eat live culture yogurt, drink lots of water, use your cream, and keep the area clean, it should be better soon.

in case you imagine it would nicely be an hypersensitivity, you would supply him some youngster's Benadryl (at nighttime) and so that they have got the Benadryl spray to flow perfect on the rash to alleviate him till you're taking him to the rfile. I have used this earlier and it somewhat works fairly sturdy. may also try Lanacaine ointment. Did he devour something new or unusual lately or has he been outdoors contained in the woods? will be poison ivy or poison oak, or if he hasn't been outdoors he would are transforming into it from yet another baby. try the anti-itch stuff to get the itching lower than administration because if he keeps scratching, it appears like it ultimately shop spreading promptly. sturdy success!

if the doctor gave you an antifungal cream it's because there's fungus ...also rashes are created by ...allergies on different things as food, climate, pollution, epidemics , medication reactions etc
