HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Since the rash is not responding (and actually worsening) to the topical medication, he may need oral medication. Bethamethasone is a good steroid cream, if he did not respond to this then oral is the next option.
He likely needs a short course of oral steroids along with anti fungal medication.
His doctor may also need to consider a complete blood count as well.
I hope this helps
