Use candid powder and vitamin B complex supplement

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting on HealthCareMagic.
1. I would suggest you to apply Candid (clotrimazole) powder over the affected area. Alternatively, you may use Candid lotion although I prefer the former.
2. Additionally, gving A to Z Syrup 2.5 ml once daily for a fortnight should be helpful.
3. Wash his face frequently with plain water.

I hope that the above measures would be helpful to you.
